The Danish soprano, Katinka Bohse Meyer, is educated from Opernschule der HMDK Stuttgart and the Danish National Academy of Music with Prof. Thilo Dahlmann and Henriette Bonde-Hansen. 

In 2026 she is chosen as Bayreuth-Stipendiatin from RWV Stuttgart, touring with the Lied-program Ornamenter and singing the soprano part in Mendelsohn’s Paulus in Copenhagen. Furthermore she is singing the title role in recording and performance of the Märchenoper Dornröschen (Sleeping Beauty) by Joachim Raff for the record label CPO with Württembergischer Philharmonie Reutlingen and Bachchor Stuttgart.

Her voice has been described as dark and lyrical with a warm timbre, which she has demonstrated in numerous stage roles in Denmark, Germany, Norway and Japan, such as La Contessa di Almaviva (Le Nozze di Figaro), Giulietta (Giulietta e Romeo) and Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus).

In 2025 Katinka was rewarded The-Lars-Waage-Prize for her role as Giulietta in Nicola Vaccaj’s Giulietta e Romeo at Den Fynske Opera with the words from artistic director, Eva-Maria Melbye: “Her ability to convey emotional intensity and complexity both vocally and scenically makes her a promising talent on the current Danish opera scene and bodes well for the future”. The opera is revived in November-December 2026.

Katinka’s operatic repertoire ranges from Mozart to contemprorary classical music with a flair for the full lyrical soprano repertoire from composers like Puccini and Bizet as well as the wider operetta roles. She is also an experienced concert singer of both Lied and oratorio with a focus on songs by Richard Strauss, Arnold Schönberg, Peter Heise, Clara Schumann, Fanny Hensel and Amy Beach.

Together with tenor, Gustav Wenzel Most, she co-founded the opera company called Bar’Opera dedicated to broadening the reach of opera to new audiences - for instance with the chamber opera The Pet Shop at Studenterhus Odense 2022 and the opera-for-beginners concert lecture Det’ Bar’Opera! at the same place 2025.
