On December 25, Gabriela Scherer will expand her Mozart repertoire as she makes her role debut as Pamina in Die Zauberflöte. She will perform in three shows at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in August Everding’s legendary production, conducted by Giuseppe Mentuccia and Eva Ollikainen. Additional performances are scheduled for December 29 and January 4, 2025.
This marks Gabriela Scherer’s fourth new role within a year, following her portrayals of Leonore in Fidelio in Lisbon, Chrysothemis in Elektra at the Semperoper Dresden, and another Mozart role, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, which she debuted earlier this year at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden.

Gabriela Scherer makes her role debut as Alice Ford in Falstaff at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin. Conducted by Giuseppe Mentuccia, she joins a distinguished cast including Michael Volle in the title role, Andrè Schuen as Ford, Anna Kissjudit as Mrs. Quickly, Jonah Hoskins as Fenton, Rosalia Cid as Nannetta, Rebecka Wallroth as Mrs. Meg Page, Jürgen Sacher as Dr. Cajus, Karl-Michael Ebner as Bardolfo, and Friedrich Hamel as Pistola.

Before returning to the role of Gutrune in Götterdämmerung, Gabriela Scherer will appear in two open-air concerts at the Bayreuth Festival 2025 on July 24 and 28. 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). Also performing are baritone Michael Kupfer-Radecky and bass Vitalij Kowaljow, with journalist Axel Brüggemann guiding the audience through the evening.
Following her acclaimed debut at the Bayreuth Festival last year - praised as “triumphant” (Nordbayerischer Kurier), “superbly cast” (Das Opernglas), and “striking” (Wanderer) - Gabriela Scherer reprises the role of Gutrune in Götterdämmerung, in Valentin Schwarz’s Netflix-inspired production, conducted by Simone Young.
