Susanne Kelling has been internationally active as an opera and concert singer for over two decades since her first engagement in the “Junges Ensemble” of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich. Guest appearances have repeatedly taken her to the opera houses in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Munich and many international opera houses.
The mezzo-soprano was appointed as a full professor of singing at the Nuremberg University of Music in 2014, where she served as Vice President from 2017 to 2021.
Prof. Kelling also regularly gives masterclasses at Haus Marteau, as part of the Holzhauser Musiktage, as well as in Montepulciano, Venice and Florence.
Her great commitment to German-Italian relations and her successes in Italian opera houses were honored with the Italian Federal Cross of Merit, and she was also knighted with the “Ordine della stella della solidarietà italiana”.
