Magdalena Hinterdobler, who sang her first Evas in Oper Frankfurt's wonderful new Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, joined the Ensemble in the 2023/24 season, during which she enjoyed great success with Grete in a stunning new production of Zemlinsky’s Der Traumgörge / George the Dreamer, Elisabeth in Don Carlo and Chrysothemis, a role she sang for the first time in Tirol's Landestheater in Innsbruck, in last season's new Elektra, and appeared in recital with Magnus Dietrich and Thomas Guggeis. Her roles during the 2024/25 season include Princess Natalie in a new production of Henze's Prince of Homburg and Marianne Leitmetzerin in Claus Guth's wonderful production of Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. Other recent highlights included Agathe in Der Freischütz. She trained at the University for Music and Theatre in Munich and Bavaria’s August Everding Theatre Academy with Andreas Schmidt, and in Helmut Deutsch’s Lieder classes. She was a member of the Ensemble at Oper Leipzig from 2014 - 2022, where her many roles included Rusalka, Micaëla in Carmen and Marie in The Bartered Bride. Word of her interpretation of Anna in the world premiere of Gerd Kühr’s Paradiese spread far and wide. While working in Leipzig with the Gewandhaus Orchester she also sang many Mozart and Italian roles, including Liù in Puccini’s Turandot and, most recently, Mimì in La Bohème. Her concert repertoire ranges from the baroque to contemporary music. She has appeared with many well known conductors and orchestras including Stuttgart’s Bach Collegium, the Munich Radio Orchestra, the Hamburg and Bamberg symphony orchestras, Dresden Philharmonic and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchester. She also enjoys singing Lieder with the pianist Gerold Huber. A CD of early Wagner Lieder was released by CPO in 2013, the year she appeared with the Munich Radio Orchestra for the first time as Dorella in Wagner’s Das Liebesverbot / The Ban on Love, which was followed by roles in Wagner operas in Leipzig including Ortlinde and Gutrune in the Ring des Nibelungen under GMD Ulf Schirmer. She continues her journey into young dramatic roles this season with Agathe in Weber’s Der Freischütz at Theater Chemnitz and Chrysothemis in Elektra at the Landestheater in Tirol.
