Regina Berner from Trossingen (South Germany) first completed her studies in church music before receiving vocal education first in Freiburg (Prof. Herrad Hornung-Wehrung and Prof. Ingeborg Möller) then in Vienna (Prof. Georgia Michaelides) and finally in London (Prof. Laura Sarti and Prof. Paul Hamburger, both Guildhall). She receives further supervisions from Luisa Bosabalian, Margret Price, Marga Schiml and Markus Goritzki.

In addition to successful activities on stage and in concert, both in Mainland Europe and the United Kingdom, she excelled in international master courses and competitions, i.e. in 1998 she was a Fellow of the Internationale-Richard-Wagner-Stiftung Bayreuth.

As an opera singer she first sang as soprano lirico spinto the belcanto-operas of the italian and french Verismo: her debut was 1995 the Mimi (Puccini, La Bohème) in the Scottish International Festival, 1996 Manon (Massenet, Manon), 1997 Wally (Catalani, La Wally), 1998 Amelia (Verdi, Un ballo in Maschera) and Manon (Puccini, Manon Lescaut).

In 1999 Regina Berner changed over to Mezzosoprano and expanded her repertoire among others with Dalila (Saint Saens, Samson et Dalila), Charlotte (Werther, Massenet), Octavian (Rosenkavalier, Strauss), Principessa (Adriana Lecouvreur, Francesco Cilča) and Carmen (Carmen, Bizet).

She places further emphasis on Kunstlieder of Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner and Alban Berg as well as on french songs from von Claude Debussy, Hector Berlioz, Maurice Ravel and russian songs from Tshaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninov and Rimskij-Korssakov.

After the third CD in 1998 with 'Wesendonck-Liedern' (Richard Wagner), the current CD has a mix of mezzo-arias and dramatic soprano-arias together with chorus and orchestra of the "Compagnia d'Opera Italiana" conducted by A. Gotti (cf. CDs/News).

In the Oratory she is singing the romantic repertoire, for instance the Requiem of W. A. Mozart, Antonin Dvorák, Giuseppe Verdi or for example the 'Petite Messe Solennelle' of Gioacchino Rossini.
