Sir Donald Runnicles conducts a cast that includes James Rutherford as Holländer, Patrick Guetti as Daland, Kieran Carrel as Erik, Stephanie Wake-Edwards as Mary, and Andrei Danilov as Steuermann.
Lauded for her “glowing intensity” in the role (Oper! Das Magazin), Gabriela returns to Christian Spuck’s staging, following her acclaimed performances at the Deutsche Oper Berlin last year.

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.
Gabriela Scherer returns to the role of Pamina in Die Zauberflöte for a one-off performance at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden on 3 January 2026. Following her acclaimed role debut during the 2024/25 season at the same house, the soprano appears once again in the legendary production by August Everding, conducted by Giuseppe Mantuccia.
