After time spent at the Staatsoper in Berlin and Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich’s international opera studios, where she sang her first leading roles, this German-Hungarian mezzo-soprano joined the ensemble at the Staatstheater in Nürnberg in 2021/22, where she sang roles for the first time including Carmen, Octavian (Der Rosenkavalier), Angelina (La Cenerentola), Hänsel (Hänsel und Gretel), Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni), Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus), Meg Page (Falstaff) and Antiope (in Maria Antonia Walpurgis’ Talestri). She sang her first Cherubinos (Le nozze di Figaro) under Daniel Barenboim and Dryade (Ariadne auf Naxos) at the Staatsoper Berlin in 2021, which was followed by a new production of Le nozze di Figaro in Nürnberg with Joana Mallwitz. Other guest engagements have taken this young artist to Aix-en-Provence, the MüPa in Budapest, the Baden-Baden, Tirol (Erl) and Bregenz festivals, the Kammeroper Rheinsberg, Semperoper in Dresden, Theater Aachen, Alexandria, the Opéra de Lille and Landestheater in Salzburg. Corinna Scheurle has worked with conductors and directors including Kirill Petrenko, Thomas Guggeis, Yannick Nézét-Séguin, Marco Armilliato & Antonello Manacorda, Hans Neuenfels, Brigitte Fassbaender, Balázs Kovalik, Andrea Breth, Vera Nemirova, Jan Philipp Gloger & Jens-Daniel Herzog. Recent concert work has included appearances with the Munich Radio Orchestra, the Kammerakademie Potsdam, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Vorarlberg Symphonieorchester and Camerata Salzburg. She also appears regularly in recital and her first CD, with works by Bartók, Kodály, Schumann and Berg with her pianist Klara Hornig, was released by the Bayerische Rundfunk. This season she appears at the Staatsoper in Prague, gives a recital in Bayreuth and makes her debut in Glyndebourne.
