Marie Maidowski

soprano

Interview

Where do I come from?

I was born and raised in chaotic, creative and warm Berlin.

Why do I sing?

I can't imagine anything more beautiful than triggering emotions in the audience with my voice. Singing is my absolute dream job.

And what do I like apart from singing?

My favorite way to spend my time is with friends, good food and enriching conversations.

My own personal musical highlight?

My first professional opera production with the contemporary music theater "Alzheim" by Xavier Dayer at the Staatstheater Cottbus. And of course my first "Susanna" in "The Marriage of Figaro" with the Munich Chamber Opera.

My motto?

Wish it, dream it, do it!
