1956年，冯·奥特出生于瑞典的斯德哥尔摩，她的父亲是一位外交官，母亲有深厚的音乐修养，16岁时，她的天赋开始初露端倪，母亲把她送去了英国伦敦的市政厅音乐艺术学院进行学习，但当时只是为了让冯·奥特能够做一些自己感兴趣的事情而已。然而，那个时候的冯·奥特并不想成为一名歌手，而是想成为一名芭蕾舞演员。
在伦敦市政厅音乐艺术学院短暂的学习后，冯·奥特回到了瑞士，加入了巴塞尔歌剧院的合唱团，成为了一名普通的歌唱演员。 在巴塞尔歌剧院工作期间，冯·奥特为了寻求更好的发展，一直在争取各处的试唱机会，她甚至跑到英国最有名望的巴洛克专家，指挥大师约翰·艾略特·加德纳面前试唱，却以失败告终。然而，执着的冯·奥特并没有就此放弃，在多方的努力下，1985年，冯·奥特终于在扎茨伯格音乐节上举办了她的首场独唱音乐会，并接连在哥本哈根等城市进行演唱，同时，她的第一张专辑也在艰难中发行。在磕磕绊绊中，冯·奥特终于迎来了自己的事业转折点。
由于音乐会的成功与首张专辑在业内受到的肯定，之前并不看好冯·奥特的加德纳决定再给冯·奥特一次试唱机会。在这次试唱之后，冯·奥特与加德纳展开了长期的合作，从灌录CD到举办音乐会，从演绎巴赫的《马太受难曲》到二十世纪的音乐作品，这些都奠定了冯·奥特步入世界级歌唱家行列的基础。
1994年，冯·奥特在与指挥大师克莱伯领衔的巴伐利亚国立歌剧院管弦乐团合作的歌剧《玫瑰骑士》中反串了英俊的青年伯爵奥克塔维安一角，获得了巨大的成功，“裤装皇后”的美称就是从这个时候流传开的。
《玫瑰骑士》是德国作曲家理查·施特劳斯最负盛名的歌剧作品，讲述了公爵夫人趁公爵外出时，与年轻贵族奥克塔维安偷偷地在卧室幽会。清晨，公爵夫人的表兄突然到访，为了遮掩丑事，公爵夫人把情人奥克塔维安化装成了一个娇美的侍女，没想到，不明真相的男爵竟然请奥克塔维安作为传递爱情致意的玫瑰骑士，由此发生了一系列啼笑皆非的故事。
《玫瑰骑士》的大获成功让冯·奥特的事业踏上了一个新的台阶，越来越多的人开始认识了“裤装皇后”，而1997年，冯·奥特却用一部艳丽热情的《卡门》颠覆了大家对她的认知。从英俊小生到妖艳的吉普赛女郎，冯·奥特用一个又一个角色展现了自己的表演功力。2000年，44岁的冯·奥特凭借与阿巴多合作录制的专辑，马勒的歌曲集《少年魔角》获得了当年的格莱美奖，这也是对冯·奥特歌唱成就的高度肯定。
除了与阿巴多合作灌录了这张专辑外，冯·奥特还与阿巴多合作演绎过多部作品，其中包括马勒根据中国唐诗创作的交响曲《大地之歌》。这部作品是马勒从德国作家汉斯·贝特格翻译的唐诗集《中国之笛》中挑选出的七首古诗写成的，全曲共有六个乐章，充满了消极悲观的情调，其中第二乐章“秋日的孤独者”，音乐情绪悲凉孤独，凄楚惆怅，勾勒出一幅寒秋孤影的萧索画面。

Von Otter was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Her father was the diplomat Göran von Otter, a Swedish diplomat in Berlin during World War II. She grew up in Bonn, London and Stockholm.

She made her professional operatic début in 1983 at the Basel Opera, as Alcina in Haydn's Orlando paladino. She made her Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, début in 1985 and her La Scala debut in 1987. Her Metropolitan Opera début was in December 1988 as Cherubino.
Her recording of Grieg songs won the 1993 Gramophone Record of the Year, the first time in the award's history that it had gone to a song recording. In 2001, she released her album with Elvis Costello, For the Stars, for which she won an Edison Award.
