Bernadeta Astari (Jakarta, 1988) is a soprano and vocal artist. In 2012, she graduated with honors from the Utrecht Conservatory with a master’s degree in classical singing, after which she immediately joined the Opera Studio Nederland and began performing as a soloist with the Dutch National Touring Opera and the Veenfabriek. After that, she was singing, dancing and acting in unique productions, such as LIGHT, a dance opera by LeineRoebana, and Opera Suor Angelica by Nico & the Navigators Berlin, with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Her passion for music, language and theater stems from her childhood in Indonesia and drives her work. This makes her a unique performer who dares to push boundaries and collaborates closely with renowned composers like Boudewijn Tarenskeen, Sinta Wullur, and Tony Prabowo. Astari also creates family performances with her trio, featuring pianist Kanako Inoue and accordionist Pieternel Berkers.
