The Danish soprano Lisbeth Rasmussen Juel was born in Copenhagen. Here she gathered her first valuable Singing experience since early childhood in various Choirs. At the age of 19 she was taught and mentored singing by Danish Mezzosoprano Maria Kontra, at the prestigious MGK, a program for young musical talents. Even before starting her bachelor studies she won the 2009 Danish competition for young singers “Unge synger Klassisk”. 

Soon after she was accepted for the Bachelor’s programme at the Royal Danish Academy of Music as a mezzo soprano studying with Hanna Hjort.

After finishing her Bachelor’s Degree in Vocal Performance in 2013 at the Royal Danish Academy of Music with great success she was invited to move to Stuttgart, Germany, to study with Professor Ulrike Sonntag at Musikhochschule Stuttgart. She finished her Master Degree in Opera Performance with the highest score in 2017.

Lisbeth has received several scholarships, among others “Das Deutschlandstipendium” (2016) and the “Richard Wagner Scholarship 2017”.

Lisbeth used the Covid Lockdowns in Germany of 2020/2021 and their consequence of lesser concerts in front of a live audience as an opportunity to undergo the transformation of her Voice-”Fach” from Mezzo Soprano to Soprano. Taking this decision has been key for improving her artistic expression and voice and finally opened the doors to many other opportunities like making it to the SEMI-FINAL of SAS PERFORMING ARTS COMPANY AND STUDIOS, INC. 2nd Annual Vocal Competition, Oct. 2021 (www.sasperformingarts.com). In November 2021, she stepped in as soprano soloist in the concert ‘Misatango’ at the renowned Würrtembergische Landesbühne Esslingen, which received excellent reviews:

Soprano Lisbeth Rasmussen Juel was also a delight to listen to. Her darkly coloured voice, which was perfectly controlled in all registers and very versatile, unfolded a radiance that made her solo parts an experience.

In 2025 she was a member of the Bayreuth Festival Chorus and performed under the baton of Daniele Gatti, Christian Thielemann and Pablo Heras-Casado. There she took on solo roles such as the Lehrbube in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, the Edeldame in Lohengrin and the Blumenmädchen in Parsifal.

In August 2023 she sang the soprano part in the production Mermaids in Sight at the Copenhagen Opera Festival.

In 2021 she was a semi-finalist in the SAS Performing Arts Vocal Competition.

She has received valuable artistic impulses in various masterclasses, among others with Helmut Deutsch, Brigitte Fassbaender, Ulrich Staerk, Catharine Woodward, Petra Lang, Vlad Iftinca and Jeanne Piland, enriching her further development as a singer and performer.
