EDUCATION
Since she was a child Hannah has dreamed of being a musical artist. For as long as she can remember she has been dancing, singing and taking acting lessons. Her first experience of singing an opera came in the last year of high school. She and all of her classmates were expecting to do a musical as a final production before graduation. It turned out that they instead were going to perform the opera Carmen and Hannah was going to play the title role. She cried and wrote a message to her mother:
"We are going to play Carmen, a f***ing opera"
But after that production, Hannah fell in love with the world of opera.
She has been studying classical singing and lied interpretation for two years at the Vadstena pre-college music school. After that, she studied for four years at the Academy of Music and Drama (University of Gothenburg). She completed her Bachelor in Art of opera in 2016 and spent one year doing her Master's program in the subject course of the interpretation of opera in 2017.
