Swedish soprano Alexandra Büchel comes from Stockholm and received her education at the University College of Opera in Stockholm, with professor Dorothy Irving and Jeffrey Goldberg, assistant conductor at Metropolitan Opera in New York. 

Lauded for her crystal-clear high notes combined with a rich and warm middle range and vivid acting, she has rapidly established herself as a leading performer of modern and contemporary music, which has led her to collaborations with composers, orchestras, and opera houses in Sweden and abroad. 

In 2017 she received the prestigious Birgit Nilsson award and made a critically acclaimed performance as the Blind Poetess in Blomdahl’s Aniara at Malmö Opera. 

Alexandra has also appeared on stages such as Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg, Vadstena- Akademien, Cape Town Opera in South Africa, Landestheater Gera and Theater Altenburg in Germany, where she has performed roles such as Gepopo in Le Grand Macabre, Second Niece in Peter Grimes, Lucia in Rape of Lucretia, Coloratura Machine in the first performance of Carl Unander Scharin’s Sing the Body Electric, Gerda in Die Schneekönigin by Valtinoni at NorrlandsOperan and Agnes in the world premiere of Catharina Backman’s Svävande Damen at Malmö Opera. 

In 2019 she was praised for her Lady Madeline in Usher by Claude Debussy/ Annelies van Parys at Folkoperan. In 2021 she will return as Lady Madeline at Opera Vlaanderen in Belgium.

Alexandra also frequently appears as a soprano soloist with orchestras such as Radio Symphony Orchestra, Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, Malmö Symphony Orchestra, Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra in Norway, contemporary Ensemble MA, Royal Academic Orchestra, and KammarensembleN.
