Gabriela Scherer returns to Bayreuth as Gutrune in “Götterdämmerung”
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.
She joins a distinguished cast including Klaus Florian Vogt (Siegfried), Catherine Foster (Brünnhilde), Michael Kupfer-Radecky (Gunther), Olafur Sigurdarson (Alberich), Mika Kares (Hagen), and Christa Mayer (Waltraute).
