Berlin-born Nina Bezu is one of the most promising sopranos of her generation and has celebrated recently significant debuts, including as Contessa (Le nozze di Figaro) at the Staatsoper Hannover and as Gerhilde (Die Walküre) alongside Jonas Kaufmann and under the musical direction of Dan Ettinger at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples.

 

In the current season, she also performed Dvořák's Stabat Mater, Verdi's Messa da Requiem, Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem, and Mendelssohn's Paulus, all at the Herkulessaal in Munich, as well as gala concerts at the Auditorio de Zaragoza with the Orquesta Sinfónica Ciudad de Zaragoza, at the Theater Kempten with the Smetana Philharmonic Prague, and most recently with the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra at the Türk Telekom Opera Hall. With the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire under the direction of Sascha Goetzel, she sang concerts featuring Verdi's Messa da Requiem in Angers and Nantes.

In October 2024, Nina Bezu will make her debut as Salome at the Finnish National Opera in Helsinki.

​

In the 2021/22 season, she made her debuts at the Leipzig Opera as Mariana in Wagner's Das Liebesverbot, as the First Lady (Die Zauberflöte), and as the soprano soloist in Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the Staatstheater Braunschweig, as well as Contessa in the new production of Le nozze di Figaro at the Staatstheater Cottbus.

​

During the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons, she was a member of the Theater Vorpommern ensemble. There, she appeared as Leonora in Verdi's Il trovatore, as Dido in Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, and as Brigomeïde and Minna in Detlev Glanert's Die drei Wasserspiele. Unfortunately, the premieres as Hanna Glawari in Lehár's Die lustige Witwe and the Feldmarschallin in Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier had to be canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the 2018/19 season, she had already guest-starred at the Theater Vorpommern as the Queen of the Night (Die Zauberflöte) before joining the opera ensemble.

​

In previous seasons, Nina Bezu had guest performances at the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Komische Oper Berlin, the Schloss Glatt Opera Festival, the Teatro Principal de Zaragoza, Auditorium Zaragoza, and others.

​

The soprano was invited by UEFA to sing at the opening ceremony of the 24th Champions League Final in 2015 at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

​

She is the winner of the Elizabeth Connell Prize - International Singing Competition for Dramatic Sopranos, the Schloss Rheinsberg Singing Competition, a finalist in the Concurso Internacional Alfredo Kraus, the International Wagnerstimmenwettbewerb in Karlsruhe, and the New York International Vocal Competition. She is a scholarship recipient of the Richard Wagner Verband Braunschweig and has been a scholarship recipient of the Olga Forrai Foundation since 2023.

​

After studying mathematics and philosophy at the Technical University of Berlin, Nina decided to study voice at the Berlin University of the Arts with Gabriele Schnaut, later with Robert Gambill and Carola Höhn, where she graduated her master's degree with distinction. She received further artistic impulses in masterclasses with Christiane Iven, Thomas Quasthoff, Norma Sharp, and Teresa Berganza.
