Erika Baikoff
Praised for her “seraphically poignant” artistry (Bachtrack), soprano Erika Baikoff is rapidly establishing herself as one of the leading lyric voices of her generation.
Concert highlights of the 2026/27 season include Debussy’s La Damoiselle élue with Hannu Lintu and the Orquestra Gulbenkian Lisbon, Britten’s Les Illuminations with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Fauré’s Requiem with Brucknerhausorchester Linz, and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias. A dedicated recitalist, she returns this season to Wigmore Hall, Schubertiade and Bayreuth, whilst making solo recital debuts at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Konzerthaus Dortmund, Kölner Philharmonie, L’Auditori Barcelona, and Oxford International Song Festival among many others.
On the operatic stage, Erika returns to the Bayerische Staatsoper as Oscar in Un ballo in maschera and makes house debuts at the Olympia City Music Theatre Maria Callas and the International Händel Festival Göttingen as Ginevra in Ariodante. She recently enjoyed role and house debuts as Veremonda in Ambleto at Theater an der Wien; Zerlina at Houston Grand Opera as well as multiple performances at the Bayerische Staatsoper of Pamina, Zerlina, and Gretel.
An alumna of the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, Erika is a first-prize winner of the Helmut Deutsch Liedwettbewerb and the Nadia et Lili Boulanger Competition, and a BBC New Generation Artist.
