On August 18 and 20, Gabriela Scherer sings Sieglinde in an abridged version of Wagner’s “Ring” at the Schlossbergbühne Kasematten in Graz. In the version called “Ring in one Evening”, Gabriela performs Sieglinde at the end of the first act of “Die Walküre”, appearing in the role for the first time. Klaus Florian Vogt is her Siegmund, Marcus Merkel conducts the Graz Philharmoniker. Elena Pankratova and Michael Volle also appear as Brünnhilde and Wotan. ORF3 telecasts the August 18 performance at 8:15 p.m. CET.
This summer, Gabriela Scherer returns to the Bayreuth Festival for one of the most anticipated events in the international opera calendar of 2026: the season-opening premiere of Richard Wagner’s Rienzi on 26 July.
In May 2026, Gabriela Scherer returns to the Opernhaus Zürich for a major milestone: she will appear there for the first time in a leading role, singing Leonore in Fidelio by Ludwig van Beethoven. Born and raised in Zurich and a former member of the house’s International Opera Studio, Scherer now returns to the main stage as an established artist, taking on one of the most demanding roles in the repertoire. The production is staged by Andreas Homoki and conducted by Axel Kober. With these performances, Gabriela Scherer returns to Zurich in a role she has already successfully performed two years ago in Lisbon, now bringing it to her home opera house for the first time.
Senta in Der fliegende Holländer has long been central to Gabriela Scherer’s repertoire, and on January 18 she is heard in the role again in a one-off performance at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
