Signe Heiberg was born in Copenhagen and has been singing since childhood. She has already impressed in opera productions in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
From 2021/22 to 2023/24, she was a member of the ensemble at the Stadttheater Bremerhaven, where she made her debut as Lady Macbeth in Philipp Westerbarkei's production of Verdi's »Macbeth«, which was nominated for the German Theatre Prize Der Faust in 2023. She celebrated further successes in the title role of »Oceane« by Detlef Glanert and as Floria Tosca in Angela Denoke's production. In December 2023, she made her debut as Rusalka in a production directed by Johannes Pölzgutter.
Heiberg won 2nd prize and the audience prize at the Lauritz Melchior International Singing Competition 2024.
Guest engagements have taken her to the Swiss Schlossoper Haldenstein Festival, the Eutin Festival 2019, where she made her debut as Amelia in Verdi's »Un Ballo in Maschera«, and to Austria, where she made her debut as Rosalinde in »Die Fledermaus« at the 30th anniversary of the Herbsttage Blindenmarkt.
Her repertoire includes roles such as Desdemona in »Otello«, Countess Almaviva in »Le nozze di Figaro«, Agathe in »Der Freischütz«, Giulietta in »The Tales of Hoffmann«, Hanna Glawari in »The Merry Widow« and Die Feldmarschallin in »Der Rosenkavalier«.
Heiberg began her training at an early age and was mentored by Prof Helene Gjerris from the age of 16. She studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Music and later in Hamburg with Prof Carolyn Grace James. Masterclasses with Ks. Waltraud Meier at the Bayreuth Festival, Ks. Brigitte Fassbaender, Ks. Edda Moser, Benton Hess, Susanna Eken, Professor Susan McCulloch and Margaret Humphrey Clark have furthered her vocal development. Signe Heiberg has been working closely with the renowned mezzo-soprano Michaela Schuster since 2017.
