Born in Mauritius from a musical family, Danielle Halbwachs has pursued an international career as opera singer, singing a large repertoire, ranging from Mozart's big soprano roles, her favourite being the Countess from « The Marriage of Figaro », till Wagner, Verdi and Strauss heroines. Appreciated for her « world class lyric sound and technical control, paired with accomplished musicianship... », she has worked with world famous conductors and producers such as Daniel Barenboim, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Ingo Metzmacher, Hans Neuenfels and Peter Konwitschny. She sang with great success in the largest opera houses in Europe such as La Scala in Milan, Bayerische Staatsoper Munich, Staatsoper Berlin, Paris Opéra Bastille.

Last season, she was invited again by the Staatsoper Berlin to cover the rôle of the Empress in « Frau ohne Schatten », giving her the opportunity to work with Maestro Zubin Mehta.
Parallel to her operatic career, she has also appeared in concert and in recital, thus cultivating her love for the lied and song repertoire.
