Mira Cöppikus is a young German soprano with a lyrical voice and dramatic potential.
Since 2022, she has been studying classical singing/musical theatre (Bachelor of Music) with Prof. Brigitte Wohlfarth at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University of Music and Theatre in Leipzig.
Alongside her studies, she continues to develop her skills – since 2021 through regular workshops and repeated participation in summer masterclasses in Meissen with Lucja Zarzycka, with whom she also prepared for her entrance exam.
