Mezzo-soprano Marie Henriette Reinhold was born in Leipzig. After completing her bachelor's degree in musicology in Weimar, she studied classical singing/opera singing with Prof. Elvira Dreßen at the "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" University of Music in Leipzig. There she completed her Meisterschüler's degree with honors in February 2020.
Since then, Marie Henriette Reinhold has been successfully performing as a soloist not only in Germany's concert halls and main churches, but also in other European countries. She has performed with the Gaechinger Cantorey, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, the Collegium Vocale Gent, the Munich Bach Choir, Concerto Köln, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig, the Staatskapelle Halle, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, the Windsbacher Knabenchor, the Baroque orchestra "La Scintilla", the Zürcher Singakademie, and the Stuttgart Chamber Choir.
She has worked with conductors such as Hans-Christoph Rademann, Thomaskantor Andreas Reize, Kreuzkantor Martin Lehmann, Dima Slobodeniouk, Florian Helgath, Frieder Bernius, Philipp Herreweghe, Herbert Blomstedt, Semyon Bychkov, Paavo Järvi, Pietari Inkinen, and Christian Thielemann.
She made her debut at the Bayreuth Festival in 2019 as one of Klingsor's Flowermaidens in "Parsifal" under Semyon Bychkov. Since then, she has been regularly engaged there, most recently in the summer of 2025 as Floßhilde in "Das Rheingold" and "Götterdämmerung", as Grimgerde in "Die Walküre" under Simone Young and directed by Valentin Schwarz, and as one of Klingsor's Flowermaidens and Voice from Above in "Parsifal", directed by Jay Scheib and conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado. In the festival's anniversary year 2026, she will continue to appear in the "Parsifal" production and will also take on the role of Floßhilde in "Der Ring" under Christian Thielemann.
Masterclasses with Jonathan Alder, Alexander Schmalcz, Götz Payer, Thilo Dahlmann and Peter Schreier gave her decisive impulses in the field of Lied interpretation.
She was the first junior prizewinner of the 2012 National Singing Competition in Berlin, a prizewinner of the 2014 Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg, and a 2017 Richard Wagner Scholarship Holder.
