The soprano Jasmin Delfs was born in Eutin. She received her first singing lessons from Eva Monar at the age of 9 and while still at school, she was awarded a scholarship from the SVA Schleswig-Holstein and accepted as a junior student at the Lübeck University of Music. She then studied there with Prof. Manuela Uhl, where she completed her Bachelor’s degree in June 2021.

In the seasons 21/22 and 22/23 she was a member of the international opera studio of the Bavarian State Opera and was seen there as Najade („Ariadne auf Naxos“), Papagena (Die Zauberflöte) and as Vespina in the new production of „L’infedeltà Delusa“ (J. Haydn). In summer 2022, Jasmin Delfs was a participant in the Young Singers Project at the Salzburg Festival, where she made her debut as the Queen of the Night in the new production (Lydia Steier) of The Magic Flute at the Haus für Mozart. She was also heard in the Grosses Festspielhaus as the 1st Flower Maiden in Parsifal (in concert with Daniel Barenboim and the Vienna Philharmonic) and in the Mozarteum’s Great Hall with the Mozarteum Orchestra under the direction of Adrian Kelly. 

Other guest engagements before and during her time in the opera studio have taken her to the Vienna State Opera, Berlin Philharmonie (with Mendelssohn’s „Elijah“ under Kirill Petrenko and the Berlin Philharmonic), the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Isarphilharmonie Munich and the Staatstheater Darmstadt, among others.  

Other roles in her repertoire include Blonde in „Die Entführung aus dem Serail“, Linfea in „La Calisto“ (F. Cavalli), Susanna in „Le Nozze di Figaro“, Viktoria in „Viktoria und ihr Husar“ (P. Abraham), Ajax in J. Offenbach’s operetta „Die schöne Helena“, as well as the leading role in Vito Zuraj’s mono-opera „Schub’rdy G’rdy“.

Despite her young age, she has also appeared in important concert roles, such as in G.F. Handel’s „Messiah“, in „Elijah“ (Mendelssohn Bartholdy), in „The Christmas Oratorio“ (J.S.Bach), as well as in W.A.Mozart’s „Exsultate Jubilate“, „Requiem in D minor“ and J.Haydn’s „The Creation“.

In the 2023/24 season, Jasmin Delfs made her debut as Blonde („Die Entführung aus dem Serail“-Mozart) at the Teatro alla Scala, as Max („Wo die wilden Kerle wohnen“-Knussen) at the Theater an der Wien and as Queen of the Night („Die Zauberflöte“-Mozart) at the Staatsoper unter den Linden, Berlin.
Concert engagements have also taken her back to the Bavarian State Opera (Mahler „8th Symphony“, under Kirill Petrenko), the Berlin Philharmonie („Die Jakobsleiter“-Schönberg, under Kirill Petrenko), the Laeiszhalle Hamburg („Gloria”-Poulenc and „Lobgesang“-Mendelssohn) and the Isarphilharmonie („Carmina Burana“-Orff).
In April 2024, she will make her debut as Poppea („L’incoronazione di Poppea“) at the Opéra Toulon.


From the 2024/25 season, Jasmin Delfs will be a member of the ensemble at the Semperoper Dresden.
