Meneka Senn – soprano
After receiving her BA in music performance at the conservatory of Amsterdam, Srilankan born soprano Meneka Senn decided to specialize in (early) opera. She was a student at the Exzellenz Program in Mainz where she followed lessons with Andreas Scholl and Ton Koopman among others and graduated her Master of Music at Fontys Conservatory Tilburg.
Meneka was involved as a soloist at the Opera of Pilzn (Czech Republic) and performed the roles of La Musica and Euridice in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. This production also premiered at the Markgräfisches Theater in Bayreuth. Meneka was accepted into the Carnegie Hall young artist program in New York where she worked alongside the Tallis Scholars.
She sang the role of Leila (Bizet – Les pecheurs de Perles) in the summer of 2022 with Opera Festa Leiden. Easter time in the Netherlands always brings Meneka to the concertgebouw Amsterdam to sing solo in many Matthew Passions.
She performed with conductors like Sigiswald Kuijken , Stephen Stubbs, Fabio Bonnizoni and Raphael Alpermann as well as directors such as Scott Skiba, Pierra Audi and Arila Siegert on different operatic projects and sang in the ensembles of Philippe Herreweghe, Peter Philips and Ton Koopman.
“To me, Any Art is meant to make the spectater think about his own behaviour. Therefore artists play a crucial part in the society’s mental health. If we (artists) manage to learn enough about ourselves and be wise enough to play our cards in a conscious way, our Art can change the world.”
