Anna Larsson

A voice full of
sorrow and mystery

Anna Larsson started her musical education at the age of ten at Adolf Fredriks Music school in Stockholm. In 1985 she graduated, majoring in language and music. At seventeen Anna met her singing teacher Florence Düselius, a great and constant inspiration, encouraging her to develop her talents and pursue a professional singing career. They continued to work together until Florence passed away in 2006.

Anna Larsson developed her skills in performing art at Operastudio-67 for three years before entering the Royal Opera College in Stockholm. There she met English Breathing and Voice coach Anna Sims, with whom she has continued to work.
