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.
Following acclaimed performances at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf and Deutsche Oper Berlin earlier this season, Gabriela Scherer returns to the role of Senta in Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer. She joins the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra for two concert performances on May 13 and 15, conducted by Tarmo Peltokoski.
