The eminent Czech soprano Irena Troupov\u00e1<\/strong> gained international renown through the historically-based interpretation of early music, which she devoted herself to already during her musicology studies at Charles University in Prague. She studied singing under Terezie Blumov\u00e1 in Prague, later under M. Corelli in Berlin. She collaborated with the ensemble Musica Antiqua Praha led by Pavel Klikar, creating a string of recordings and exceptionally successful concerts both at home and abroad. At that time she also found an interest in contemporary music and has worked with the likes of Petr Eben, Svatopluk Havelka and others. After her studies she performed mainly in Germany, but the demand for her talent also grew rapidly in other countries (England, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Poland). She worked with many different ensembles (e.g. Orpheon Consort, Johann-Rosenm\u00fcller-Ensemble, Sch\u00fctz-Akademie, Capella Sagittariana, Dresdener Barockorchester, Lautten-Compagney, Kievskaya Kamerata) and conductors (Howard Arman, Joshua Rifkin, Frieder Bernius, Thomas Hengelbrock, Florian Heyerick, Vojt\u011bch Spurn\u00fd and others). This cooperation brought about a number of recordings. Irena Troupov\u00e1 was a regular participant in the concert programmes of the State Opera in Berlin and the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. Among the most interesting opera productions that she took part in during her German period, a mention should be made of Monteverdi\u2019s Orfeo headed by Joshua Rifkin in Basel, Freiburg and Mulhouse (the roles of Musica and Proserpine), of the modern premiere of H.I.F. Biber\u2019s opera Arminius in Salzburg (later released on CD), but also of Le malade imaginaire of M.-A. Charpentier and J.-B. Lully in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irena Troupov\u00e1 is a frequent guest singer at international music festivals, including Tage der alten Musik Herne, Pra\u017esk\u00e9 jaro (Prague Spring), Festival de musique baroque Caen, Holland-festival oudemuziek Utrecht, Bach-Festival Sumy and Concenturs Moraviae, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irena\u2019s early music projects over recent years include programmes in cooperation with the Comic Opera (Berlin), German radio NDR (Norddeutscher Rundfunk) and Belgian conductor Florian Heyerik (Salto vocale \u2013 fragments from the operas of G. Ph. Telemann), with Musica Florea (operatic projects \u2013 Ch. W. Gluck: La Danza, G. F. H\u00e4ndel: Terpsicore), Ensemble Tourbillon, Barbara M. Willi, Jaroslav T\u016fma, Monika Knoblochov\u00e1, Petra Mat\u011bjov\u00e1 and others. More recently, she has been working closely with the international ensemble Orpheon; they have toured Spain, Austria and France together and have also recorded an album, Marin Marais and his friends. She has collaborated with members of the Staatskapelle Berlin, joining in a fascinating project connecting the musicality of the Baroque with that of the Modern: Musik im Dialog \u2013 Claudio Monteverdi und Luciano Berio, a concert cycle in the State Opera in Berlin which was followed by a programme from the works of J. S. Bach, Bach \u2013 reloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irena Troupov\u00e1 has gradually extended her scope to include Romantic and Modern lyrical and operatic works. She has performed songs from German and French Romanticism a number of times at the concerts of the Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Czech Philharmonic (the early songs of Gustav Mahler). She has also given voice to Jan Du\u0161ek\u2019s orchestral songs Chalomet yehudi\u2019im together with Orchestra BERG for the EBU and the songs of Milo\u0161 \u0160t\u011bdro\u0148 for Czech Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately, she has focused her attention on the music of the 20th and 21st century; she recorded Bohuslav Martin\u016f\u2019s opera Le jour de bont\u00e9 (The Day of Charity) for Arco Diva. She has performed the works of Marek Kopelent (the Singspiel Musica, the cantata Agnus Dei at Prague Spring 2012) \u2013 she joined the Prague Philharmonia conducted by Jakub Hr\u016f\u0161a to render the premiere of Kopelent\u2019s Pozdn\u00ed sb\u011br (Late Harvest). She is also actively interested in the music of interwar authors \u2013 Viktor Ullmann, Erwin Schulhoff, Norbert von Hannenheim, Philip Herschkowitz \u2013 performing their works to international audiences and recording a number of their compositions for Czech Radio and Deutschlandfunk. Irena Troupov\u00e1 is also greatly valued as a tutor of early music, teaching at the Jan\u00e1\u010dek Academy of Music and Performing Arts and Masaryk University in Brno, and in courses both in the Czech Republic and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
