Agnes Wästfelt is a Swedish/Icelandic soprano educated at the Malmö Academy of Music under Britta Johansson and at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where she graduated from the soloist class in 2014 after studying with Kirsten Buhl Möller. That same year she was awarded the Bayreuth Scholarship from the Swedish Wagner Society.

She has come to work with chamber opera and chamber music in various forms, —both newly written and rediscovered works—as well as immersive opera, chamber opera, and performance art.

In 2017, together with pianist Linda Dahl Laursen, she won the Copenhagen Lied-Duo Competition, and has performed a large repertoire of Lied with her in both Sweden and Denmark.

With harpist Miriam Seltzer, and with support from the Nils-Göran Olve Foundation, she has undertaken the task of uncovering unknown or forgotten original music for voice and harp to be performed during 2026, and she also appears in the role of “The Oracle” in the production Prophecies.

In 2021 she was seen as Clorinda in Moderna Operan’s production of Rossini’s “La Cenerentola”, and in 2019 in the role of Kristin in Margareta Hallin’s “Miss Julie”.

Already early in her studies she began performing newly written works, something she has continued throughout her entire professional career. As part of the Halmstad-based ensemble Operation Opera, she has appeared in numerous productions, including the role of “The Nurse”, which she performed in the immersive productions: ”Welcome to Anfasia” (directed by Helena

Röhr), ”Welcome Back Into the Warmth”, ”Anfasian Entertainment”, and ”The Accused”with music by Mattias Petersson and direction by David Hornwall and Hedvig Jalhed. Other productions by Operation Opera include Rán, in which she played “Doris Leise” (music by Mattias Petersson, direction by Hedvig Jalhed), and The Oracle in The Prophecies (music by David Hornwall, direction by Hedvig Jalhed).

With Söndrebaljsoperan, she performed in The Great Weaving Opera as “Hanna från Lilla Rödde”, staged throughout Sweden and also toured in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2017, with music by Stefan Klaverdal and direction by Helena Röhr. She also appeared as “Amanda” in Falling (music by Stefan Klaverdal, direction by Magnus Berg).

With Stockholm Musical Theatre, she appeared in 2023 in the production Bang, Boom, Crash as Mizzy, a performance about the creation of The Merry Widow in the shadow of the approaching First World War.

With the Reykjavík-based Gjörningar Klubburinn – Icelandic Love Corporation, she performed as “Aqua Maria” in their guest performance Baby Shower for Mary at Lilith Performance Studio in Malmö in 2017.
