Michal Bitan’s musical flexibility is informed by a kaleidoscope of interests. From rhetoric and historical theater, through filming, to the construction of historical garments, these art forms instruct her decision making to form a miniature theater experience in each performance.
Since making her debut with the New Israeli Opera as 1st Child of Mozart in Die Zauberflöte, , she has come to specialize in the works of the late French, Italian and German 18th century masters, as well as historical acting. Further training has based her in Europe, where she completed Bachelor and Masters Studies in early music at the Royal Conservatoire Den Haag.
Michal sang the roles of Dorinda (G.F.Handel: Orlando) at Theater Aachen, Königin der Nacht (W.A.Mozart: Die Zauberflöte) with the Lüneburger Symphoniker, Armide (Lully), Queen Orasia (Telemann: Orpheus), Vespetta (Telemann: Pimpinone) and Mrs. Ford (Salieri: Falstaff) at the Royal theater The Hague.
Michal collaborates as a singer- actress with various ensembles and orchestras, such as Musica Poëtica, with whom she portrayed the roles of Ariadne (G. Benda: Ariadne auf Naxos) and Portia (Shakespear: The merchant of Venice), and La Voz Humana. She is the artistic director of the ensemble A Dialogue on a Kiss, since 2010.
Michal Bitan hat sich durch ihre musikalische Flexibilität als eine einfühlsame Interpretin verschiedenster Stilrichtungen vom Barock bis zum 21. Jahrhundert etabliert. Seit ihrem Debüt mit der New Israeli Opera als 1. Knabe in Mozarts Die Zauberflöte hat die in Jerusalem geborene Sängerin sich auf Werke der französischen, italienischen und deutschen Meister des späten 18. Jahrhunderts, sowie auf historische Schauspielpraxis spezialisiert. Ihre weitere Ausbildung führte sie nach Europa, wo sie ein Bachelor- sowie ein Masterstudium mit Hauptfach Gesang (Oper und alte Musik) am Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag absolvierte.
Michal Bitan hat schon zahlreiche Opernrollen gesungen, wie zum Beispiel Olympia (J.Offenbach: Hoffmanns Erzählungen) mit dem Broadcasting Authority (IBA) Symphony Orchestra Israel, Le feu und Le rossignol (M.Ravel: L'enfant et les sortileges) mit dem Orchestra of the Jerusalem Academy, Dorinda (G.F.Handel: Orlando) am Theater Aachen, Armide (Lully) und Mrs. Ford (Salieri: Falstaff) am Königlichen Theater Den Haag, und Die Königin der Nacht (W.A.Mozart: Die Zauberflöte) mit den Lüneburger Symphonikern.
Michal arbeitet als Sängerin und Schauspielerin mit diversen Ensembles und Orchestern zusammen, wie zum Beispiel "Musica Poëtica" und "La Voz Humana". Sie ist aktives Mitglied der Amsterdam Historical Acting Collective, und künstlerische Leiterin des Ensembles "A Dialogue on a Kiss", mit dem sie 2016 die CD "Tis now dead Night" aufnahm.
