Gabriela Scherer featured in Opernwelt portrait
The February 2026 issue of Opernwelt features an in-depth portrait of Gabriela Scherer. Titled “Mutter Courage”, the article by Jürgen Otten presents a nuanced portrait of a singer distinguished by artistic independence and versatility beyond conventional categorisation.
The text explores her repertoire ranging from Wagner and Strauss to Mozart and Italian roles, as well as her conscious approach to vocal development, career choices, and public expectations within the operatic profession. Key stages of her artistic path, formative encounters, and her reflections on current trends in the opera world are examined in detail.
A particular focus is placed on her ability to combine dramatic intensity with technical control and thoughtful self-awareness. The portrait also situates Gabriela Scherer’s recent and upcoming engagements – including several Wagner roles and her appearance at the 2026 Bayreuth Festival as Irene in Rienzi – within the broader context of her artistic profile, underlining Gabriela Scherer’s position as one of the most distinctive and versatile singers of her generation.
