Bio

Amy Ní Fhearraigh is a lyric soprano lauded for her “captivating”, “versatile and powerful” voice. Originally from Dublin, Ireland where she received her BMus from the Conservatory of Music and Drama, she is now working and based in Magedurg, Germany. A regular on the Irish stages, she made her debut with Irish National Opera in their inaugural production in 2018 and has been involved in numerous productions ever since. Held in high regard in both classical and contemporary opera, she made her Royal Opera House (ROH) debut in 2023 to critical acclaim at the Linbury Theatre, where she garnered unanimous rave reviews. One review from The Arts Desk wrote, 

“how impressive (...) to see so totally finessed a performance from a young rising star.” These performances were soon after nominated at The Olivier Awards 2023 for “Best New Opera Production”. Following its success Amy was invited to return to the ROH Covent Garden later that year to cover the role of Woglinde in Wagner’s ‘Das Rheingold’ directed by Barry Kosky and conducted by Antonio Pappano.

She made her German debut in ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’ playing La Contessa Almaviva with Theater Magdeburg where she returns for their upcoming season as part of their house Ensemble until Easter of 2025. Highlights of the season include performing the role of Micaëla in Bizet’s ‘Carmen’, Liù in Puccini’s ‘Turandot’, and the role of The Queen in the world premiere of Gerald Barry’s new opera, ‘Salomé’. 

A sought-after recitalist, Amy has performed in multiple venues across Ireland, the UK and Germany. She most notably made her French debut recently in a broadcast for Radio France performing a modern composition by celebrated Irish composer, Michael Gallan, of new pieces sung in both English and the native Irish language, Gaeilge.
