With the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra under the baton of Pablo Heras-Casado, she will perform Lady Macbeth’s Sleepwalking Scene from Macbeth by Verdi, Senta’s “Einsam in trüben Tagen” from Lohengrin, and the final section of Salome’s closing monologue (Schlussgesang).

"Gabriela Scherer sings a youthful, dramatic Elsa full of soprano sweetness, warmth and rapturous intensity."
Opernwelt
Julia Spinola
"But of course the focus is on Gabriela Scherer as Senta, who depicts this soprano role's wide range of expression with a broad spectrum of colours. Lots of applause and ovations."
Bonner General-Anzeiger
Bernhard Hartmann
"Gabriela Scherer, making her role debut as Elsa, was the major surprise of the evening. She was splendid as a clear and warm voiced heroine, capable of communicating innocence, distress, yearning and purity. Her soprano traveled Wagner's long arcs of melodies with smoothness and ease, never shrill or strained. Clad in a white bridal dress, she acted with grace and elegance."
