Interview with Das Opernmagazin
Gabriela Scherer is the subject of an extensive new portrait in Das Opernmagazin. In this in-depth interview, the Swiss soprano speaks about her artistic path, from her early days as a mezzo-soprano to her current international success in the jugendlich-dramatisch and lirico-spinto repertoire.
She reflects on her acclaimed Bayreuth debut as Gutrune in Götterdämmerung, her return to the Festival in 2025, and her upcoming engagements as Alice Ford in Falstaff at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Leonore in Fidelio at the Opernhaus Zürich, and as Irene in Wagner’s Rienzi – the first production of the work ever presented in Bayreuth.
Beyond career milestones, the interview offers a personal look at the singer’s life as a mother and wife, her thoughts on balance, artistic integrity, and the challenges facing women in opera today.
