With her “angelic voice” (Kölner Stadt Anzeiger) and “ethereal stage presence” (Sydney Morning Herald), Australian soprano Siobhan Stagg has established herself as one of the most captivating lyric artists of her generation.
From 2013 to 2019, Siobhan was a member of the Deutsche Oper Berlin ensemble, where she sang leading roles including Pamina Die Zauberflöte, Tytania A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Micaëla Carmen working with many of today’s foremost conductors and directors.
She has since appeared on many of the world’s most prestigious stages, earning acclaim as the title role in Cendrillon (Lyric Opera of Chicago), Pamina and Susanna Le nozze di Figaro (Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and Opera Australia), Susanna (Komische Oper Berlin), Sophie Der Rosenkavalier (Opernhaus Zürich, Staatsoper Berlin), Mélisande Pelléas et Mélisande (Opéra de Dijon and Victorian Opera Melbourne), and Mirel Dark Side of the Moon, Gilda Rigoletto, Blonde, and Cordelia in Aribert Reimann’s Lear (Hamburgische Staatsoper). Other highlights include Angelica Orlando (Théâtre du Châtelet Paris), Lady Magnesia title role and Najade Ariadne auf Naxos (Bayerische Staatsoper), Blonde Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Dutch National Opera), and staged performances of Mozart’s Requiem at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence.
A sought-after concert performer, Stagg has collaborated with ensembles such as the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Cleveland Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Wiener Symphoniker, Gürzenich Orchester Köln, and Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin.
The 2025/26 season sees her expand this profile with an impressive series of symphonic projects: Brahms’s Requiem with the Minnesota Orchestra, Trondheim Symphony, and Nord Deutscher Rundfunk; Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with the Utah Symphony and Staatstheater Darmstadt; Mahler’s Second Symphony with the BBC
Philharmonic; Poulenc’s Stabat Mater with Spain’s RTVE Orchestra; Strauss’s Vier letzte Lieder with Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège and Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano; Unsuk Chin’s Puzzles and Games with Staatskapelle Dresden; and the world premiere of Thomas Blomenkamp’s In Little Stars written for Siobhan, with Duisburger Symphoniker. She also returns to Orchestre National de Lyon for Chausson’s Poème de l’amour et de la mer, to Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse for New Year’s concerts, and to Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for Mozart’s Mass in C minor. This season, Siobhan also makes her long awaited return to London’s Wigmore Hall.
On the opera stage, Siobhan makes her role and house debut as Juliette Roméo et Juliette at State Opera South Australia, returns to the Staatsoper Berlin for her role debut as Antonia/Stella Les Contes d’Hoffmann, and debuts as Adalgisa (Norma) with Irish National Opera.
In recognition of her international achievements, Stagg was awarded the Key to the City of Mildura in 2023, only the third recipient in the city’s history. She is a Fellow of Trinity College, University of Melbourne, and supports the Siobhan Stagg Aria Award at the Mildura Eisteddfod. In 2025, she initiated the Alumni Giving Circle alongside her role as a Board Director of the Melba Opera Trust.
