Lisa Ströckens works at the intersection of acting, music theatre, and contemporary opera. With her cross-genre projects, she performs on a wide range of stages, festivals, and concert series. Her artistic practice is driven by a desire to break open boundaries: through versatility, bold formats, and unconventional sound worlds, she invites audiences—and herself—to step beyond the familiar and discover new spaces of listening and perception.

​

Together with the Music Theatre Lab of Art//2020, she is currently exploring transformative processes in music theatre, in which music and movement are conceived as equal partners. Most recently, she appeared as a soprano and actor in the VR opera Am Ende der Welt by Nora Krahl. She is also featured as a vocalist on the album Garden City Radio, released by the Cologne label JazzHausMusik.

​

Alongside her solo work, Lisa feels particularly at home in ensemble settings. She has performed with members of Theatro dei Cervelli (Cremona/Basel), presenting madrigals by C. Monteverdi as well as her own monologue on “female pain” in THE LANGUAGE OF PAIN (musical direction: Andrés Locatelli / Theatro dei Cervelli). In addition, she develops concert programmes that reframe classical music within new contexts—from the concert hall to the club. With her duo LouLou and as a soloist, she has appeared at the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Podium Festival Esslingen, the ARD Radio Festival, and the Institute for Music Research Berlin.

​

Lisa is a prizewinner of the Chamber Opera Schloss Rheinsberg, a winner of the D-bü Competition, and a laureate of the International Competition for French Song in Toulouse (contemporary song category). She has received support from the German Federal Cultural Foundation, the GVL Neustart Kultur programme, the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation, and the Richard Wagner Association. She has participated in masterclasses with Anne Champert, Thomas Heyer, Salome Kammer, Wolfgang Rihm, Angelika Luz, and Wolfram Rieger. Her musical training began with her father, Thomas Ströckens, and later continued with Laura Aikin in Berlin.
