Biography

Born in Berlin in 1958, Dagmar Manzel, graduate of renowned actor school Ernst Busch, belongs to Germany’s most successful actresses. She sings, dances, and plays her heart out! Unlike any other actress, she manages to metamorphose like a chameleon into any role – fresh gal or glamorous woman – without acting. She simply lives the character she impersonates on stage. Proof of this are the numerous awards such as the Adolf-Grimme-Preis, award of the best actress of the year, Deutscher Fernsehpreis, Deutscher Schauspielerpreis, and Deutscher Filmpreis. Alongside theater, film and TV, Dagmar Manzel’s love belongs to music. She enthralls her audience in grand recitals and title roles of music theater productions of venues such as Komische Oper Berlin, Opera Cologne, Hans-Otto Theater in Potsdam, Deutsches Theater Berlin, Konzerthaus Berlin, and Berlin Philharmonie in Germany, but also in Paris at Cité de la Musique, at London’s Wigmore Hall, and at the Edinburgh International Festival.

Her latest CD, MENSCHENsKIND, was published with Deutsche Grammophon in February 2014. Since then, she is a regular guest at various German theatres and festivals such as Staatsoper Dresden, Volkstheater München, Theater Bremen, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Rheingau Musik Festival, and Beethovenfest Bonn. In 2015/16, Manzel performed in three different productions at the Komische Oper Berlin. Further, she sang the main role in the world premiere of Helmuth Oehring’s Agota at Staatstheater Wiesbaden.

During the past season, she also performed in three different productions at the Komische Oper Berlin, including Oscar Straus’ Die Perlen der Cleopatra, Ball im Savoy, Eine Frau, die weiß, was sie will, Kiss me Kate, Im Weißen Rössl, Die sieben Todsünden and Anatevka. In addition she guested with various productions of the Komische Oper Berlin i.a. at the Philharmonie Cologne, the Hamburgische Staatsoper and the Dresdner Staatsoperette.
Away from the operetta stage, she has toured Germany with MENSCHENsKIND.

In the 22-23 season, she remains true to the Komische Oper and continues to take on the roles in Eine Frau, die weiss, was sie will! and The Pearls of Cleopatra. In addition, she will direct Pippi Longstocking, also at the Komische Oper.
