The young Austrian mezzo-soprano Anja Mittermüller began her musical education at the music schools in Leobendorf and Hollabrun and is currently studying at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media with Marek Rzepka and in Jan Philip Schulze's lied class.

Alongside her studies, the mezzo-soprano has participated in masterclasses with Brigitte Fassbaener, Claudia Visca, Robert Holl, Sir András Schiff and Franz Welser-Möst, among others. She is a multiple prize-winner at the state and national ‘Prima la musica’ competition, and was awarded first prize in the Wigmore Hall Competition in 2023, making her the youngest winner in the competition's history.

In recent years, she has made her debuts at the Klosterneuburg Opera in Verdi's La forza del destino (Curra) under the direction of Christoph Campestrini, at the Herbsttage Blindenmarkt in Leo Fall's Die Rose von Stabul (Djamileh) under Kurt Dlouhy and at the Vienna Konzerthaus in recital as part of Musica Juventutis with pianist Lukas Sternath, followed by a recital with Margit Fussi at the Konzerthaus Blaibach. Anja Mittermüller performed with Robert Holl at the Schubertiades in Dürnstein and Atzenbrugg and appeared alongside Michael Schade and Justus Zeyen at the Randhartinger Serenade. In November 2023, she performed Mozart's Requiem with the Tonküstlerorchester Niederösterreich under the direction of Andreas Ottensamer and made her debut at the Wiener Musikverein as a soloist in Schumann's Der Rose Pilgerfahrt with the Wiener Singverein and under the direction of Johannes Prinz.

In August 2025, Anja Mittermüller can be seen as Tisbe in Rossini's La Cenerentola at the Bregenz Festival. In the coming season, she will sing Bach's Magnificat for the first time with the Tonkünstlerorchester Niederösterreich under Stefan Gottfried, and Bruckner's Te Deum under Yutaka Sado. Lied recitals will take her to the Heidelberger Frühling, the Eppaner Liedsommer and London's Wigmore Hall. A further highlight will be Schubertiades with Sir András Schiff and Julian Prégardien at the Vienna Konzerthaus and the Kronberg Academy.
