Maria Weiss

Die Presse

“Maria Weiss soars with heart-wrenching and dreamily beautiful vocals”

Praised in the critics for her punchy and marvelous mezzo-soprano
Maria Weiss has established herself as an outstanding singer for early music.

Especially dedicated to baroque operas
she has contributed to the rediscovery of much neglected music.

Maria Weiss

Mezzosoprano, film actress & visual artist

“Her voice is tremendous, and the continued suspense of her stage presence is breath-taking”, “a marvellous mezzo soprano with organ-like depths” and “a vocal and acting synthesis of arts” are just some of the things that reviewers have said of the Austrian mezzo soprano Maria Weiss.

The mezzo soprano was just a child when she discovered her love for singing and early music. She studied solo performance at the Luigi Cherubini State Conservatory in Florence, the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz and acting at the Lee Strasberg Theater & Film Institute in New York.

EARLY MUSIC REVIEW

Visual Artist

Whether photography, videography or illustration:
Maria uses interdisciplinary, artistic forms of expression for storytelling and always transports us to another world with a fairytale touch. Projects such as the label '1607 Records' and '1607 Ensemble', which she founded, complement her artistic path as a singer and film actress.
