Soprano Caroline Ottocan was born and raised in Lund, Skåne, where classical music took an early and prominent role through her involvement in Karin Fagius' youth choirs. After studying at Vadstena Folk High School, she continued her musical education and earned a bachelor's degree in classical singing from the Music Conservatory in Aarhus, Denmark, under the guidance of vocal instructor Bodil Øland. After spending a year as an Erasmus student at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in 2018, Caroline chose to apply to the Master of Performing Arts program at the same esteemed university. During her time in Vienna, Caroline deepened her knowledge and skills under the guidance of vocal professor Margit Klaushofer. She also had the opportunity to collaborate with musical conductor Christoph Meier, as well as directors Leonard Prinsloo and Michael Sturminger.

In the fall of 2021, Caroline completed her master's degree with the highest
distinction, "Auszeichnung."
Throughout her academic journey, Caroline has been rewarded with several scholarships
and financial support from various foundations. One prominent example is the Anders
Sandrew Music Scholarship of 80,000 SEK, aimed at young and promising musicians. She
also recently received a scholarship from the Opera Friends in Ystad, resulting in a
celebrated concert at Ystad Theater.

In 2019, Caroline reached the finals of the prestigious tenth international Heinrich Strecker
Wettbewerb Bühne Baden. In 2022, she also reached the semifinals of the Otto Edelmann
Competition. During her time in Vienna, she embodied and performed memorable roles such
as Blanche de la Force in Francis Poulenc's opera "Dialogues des Carmélites," Gretel in
Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hänsel und Gretel," and Elisetta in Domenico Cimarosa's opera "Il
matrimonio segreto."

During her studies, Caroline also sang a great deal of operetta from the lyrical repertoire,
with performances in works like "Madame Pompadour," "Wienerblut," and "Der Graf von
Luxemburg." She also did several scenes from W.A Mozarts Cosi fan tutte where she sang
Fiordiligi. She was also an understudy for the role of Contessa in "Le Nozze di Figaro" for
the final school production at Schlosstheater Schönbrunn in Vienna. In the coming fall, you
will also have the opportunity to hear Caroline as a soloist in Mozart's Requiem at Härlanda
Church in Gothenburg.
