Biography

Born in Berlin, Dagmar Manzel, graduate of the Ernst Busch drama school in Berlin is one of the most successful German actresses. When she sings, dances and acts, she puts her whole heart and soul into it! Like almost no other actress, she manages to metamorphose like a chameleon into any role, sometimes playing a cheeky brat, sometimes a sophisticated lady, but never playing a role - she is always the character she embodies on stage. Awards such as the Adolf Grimme Prize, the Actress of the Year Award, the German Television Prize, the German Acting Prize and the German Film Prize bear witness to this.
In addition to theatre, film and television, Dagmar Manzel also loves music. She has delighted audiences with major song recitals and leading roles in musical theatre productions at the Komische Oper Berlin, the Cologne Opera, the Hans-Otto Theater Potsdam, the Deutsches Theater and, in particular, in Paris at the Cité de la Musique, London's Wigmore Hall, the Edinburgh International Festival, the Konzerthaus and the Philharmonie Berlin.

Her CD MENSCHENsKIND, released by Universal, has made her a regular guest in many major German cities and festivals. In the 15/16 season, she performed in three different pieces at the Komische Oper Berlin. Further, she sang and performed the main role in the world premiere of Helmuth Oehring's Agota at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden. In addition to that, she had a guest appearance at the Bavarian State Opera in Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale" under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski.

In recent seasons, she has starred at the Komische Oper Berlin in 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". She has also made guest appearances in various Komische Oper productions, including engagements at the Philharmonie Köln, the Hamburg State Opera and the Dresden State Opera. Apart from the opera stage, she has toured Germany with MENSCHENsKIND and SEHNSUCHT, performing at the Rheingau Music Festival, the Saarbrücken State Theatre, the Wiesbaden May Festival, the Frankfurt Opera and many other venues.

She continues to be a regular guest at the Komische Oper Berlin, in the 23/24 season with "Eine Frau, die weiß, was sie will" and "Anatevka". In 22/23 she also directed Pippi Longstocking at the Komische Oper Berlin, and in the 24/25 season her second directorial work will follow with "Hänsel und Gretel".
