Biography

Whether conducting opera productions, symphonic concerts, or contemporary works, Marie Rosenmir impresses with her gift for bringing musical characters to life and her skillful balance between transparency and intensity in the orchestral sound. Her commitment to the music of the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly late European Romanticism and opera, as well as her passion for Swedish composers, make her a particularly significant interpreter who knows how to combine musical tradition with a contemporary sensibility.

She is praised for her musical charisma, her dedication, her vitality, and her personality—but above all for the depth, breadth, and attention to detail with which her interpretations unfold.

Marie Rosenmir is the recipient of the Taki Alsop Conducting Fellowship for the years 2022–2024.

Marie began her conducting career with the music department at the Gothenburg Opera, where she conducted Puccini’s *Manon Lescaut*, and subsequently led opera productions at the Folkoperan in Stockholm.
