In love with Wagner and Strauss

When Ricarda Merbeth became a member of one of the world’s leading opera houses, the Vienna State Opera, in the early 2000s, State Opera Director Ioan Holender said: The miracle of Weimar is here, referring to her acclaimed performances at the Vienna National Theatre. Today, the German soprano is one of the most sought-after Wagner and Strauss interpreters, singing at the world’s leading opera houses: Berlin, New York, Milan, Paris, London, Munich, Tokyo, Moscow. At her home in Mecklenburg Vorpommern, the artist spoke with Lorena Jiménez from the Spanish opera magazine RITMO.
