Biography

Alexandra Hedin is a Swedish opera singer. She graduated from the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg where she completed her Bachelor of Arts in Opera (June 2016).

During her opera training Alexandra had the experience of singing in several productions and signed up for roles such as Nedda in an extract from Pagliacci by Leoncavallo, Mercedes in Bizet’s Carmen and as Captain Lovelock in the opera by the same name by J Duke. 

For Alexandra’s Bachelor final year’s exam she took on the singing role of Tonina in Antonio Salieri’s Prima la musica e poi le parole, Musical Director and Conductor Henrik Schaefer and Director Mattias Palm.  After graduating she spent a year on a Masters Programme, The interpretation of opera, at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg. During this time she studied and rehearsed two different roles, that of Mimì (La Boheme) and La Contessa (Le Nozze di Figaro).

In the summer of 2017 Smålandsoperan set up a production of  Le Nozze di Figaro in which Alexandra made her debut as La Contessa.  The following summer she returned to Smålandsoperan, singing the part of Micaëla in Carmen. 

Other singing roles include Lucy in Menotti’s the Telephone, which went on tour and was also directed by Smålandsoperan.  At the Folkoperan in Stockholm she has had parts in both Turandot and Förklädd Gud.
