Swedish soprano Karin Mobacke is rapidly emerging as one of the most compelling lyric voices of her generation. This season she returns to the role of the First Lady in The Magic Flute at the Royal Swedish Opera after acclaimed performances at Folkoperan. In 2024 she appeared in Peter Nordahl's newly composed opera Sir Arne's Treasure, sang the solo in Mahler's Symphony No. 4 with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra academy, and portrayed Fortuna/Damigella in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea at Vattnäs Konsertlada.
She has also inhabited Adèle in Die Fledermaus at Vattnäs Konsertlada, Eritrea in C.F. Pollarolo's Il colore fa la Regina at Vadstena Old Theatre, and covered roles such as Gerda in The Snow Queen for the Royal Swedish Opera and Leocasta/La Fortuna in Vivaldi's Il Giustino at Drottningholms Slottsteater.
As a concert soloist Karin has collaborated with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and the symphony orchestras of Norrköping and Gävle. Highlights include Sven-David Sandström's The Book of Life under Tobias Ringborg, Johann Gottlieb Naumann's Gustav Vasa, Carl Nielsen's Springtime on Funen, and beloved sacred works such as Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Requiem.
She studied at the Chamber Opera program at Mälardalen University, participated in the Opera Pro development initiative, and spent the 2024/2025 season inside Folkoperan's talent program mentored by Nina Stemme and Patrik Ringborg.
With a voice that balances brilliance, warmth, and narrative sensitivity, Karin Mobacke captivates audiences in opera, concert, and recital settings alike, bringing stylistic insight and textual clarity to every performance.
