*according to me 😇 This a cappella phrase (it’s not but it definitely feels like it is) from Orff’s Carmina Burana arrives at the end of the piece. I have to be on stage around 30 minutes before it to sing my other arias, so I like to check and sing it a couple of times in my dressing room right before walking to the stage. Then I can only hope for the best!! 😬🫣 This ballet version of Carmina Burana that we perform at the @musiktheaterimrevier is really special, from the stunning @mir_dance_company to the beautiful @neuephilharmoniewestfalen and MiR amazing choir 🤩 📆 My next shows : November 17, November 22, January 5, March 9, March 30 ! What’s the most stressful phrase you’re working on at the moment?? ⬇️⬇️ • • • #operasinger #operasingersofinstagram #sopranolife #soprano #opernsängerin #opera #sopran #classicalmusic #oper #carminaburana #carlorff #ballet

Happy World Opera Day 🥳! Celebrating with some random pictures that I have never posted here, from one of my first ever big role in an opera production in 2014 (can you guess which one? 😇) to other shows in which have been singing in the past years. We’re rehearsing Hänsel und Gretel at the moment at the @musiktheaterimrevier, and I have to say, I’m pretty sure this production will be one for the books 🤩 I can feel the magic that’s part of the art of Opera every second ✨✨Can’t wait to show you more soon!! 1 - Wachsfigurenkabinett / 📸Sascha Kreklau 2 - Turn of the Screw / 📸Olivier Wavre (with the one and only @marinaviottimezzo 😘) 3 - Gräfin Mariza / 📸Anke Sundermeier 4 - Ariane et Barbe-bleue / @operadelyon

By popular demand (exclusively singers 😂), here is the recipe I used to make 🔥Fire Cider🔥 (it’s @by_cynthia_ka ‘s) : - Some ginger (about 5cm) - Some turmeric (about 4cm) - 1 orange - 1 lemon - 3 small red onions - 7 garlic cloves - 2 red peppers or 1 tsp cayenne pepper powder - 1 L Apple vinegar (unpasteurized) - Some plants and roots like rosemary, black radish… Chop everything and put it in a clean jar, let it macerate for a month, and filter. You can have 1 tbsp a day in some water for 3 weeks, and 3 tbsp a day when sick. I made this remedy last winter, and I was clearly less sick than usual, so 🤷🏼‍♀️ • • • #operasingersofinstagram #operasinger #oper #opernsängerin #soprano #sopranolife #remedy #firecider #singerremedy

It’s all fun and games until you have to run up and down the stairs on stage a thousand times 🫠 No but for real, I get to do pretty amazing stuff in this job, I feel very lucky. Is it worth all the life sacrifices, years of spending money to audition and study, the stress and self doubt ? Let say it does 😌😬 Thanks @_katherineallen_ for the videos and for helping me choose the dress of my dreams (only kidding, I had absolutely no say in this decision 🤣)! And thanks @sophiadorra_ for the beautiful videos of the production!! And thank you Frank for the amazing costumes you imagined for us, and Christopher for adapting the dress so it fits so well 🤩 @musiktheaterimrevier • • • #operasinger #operasingersofinstagram #sopranolife #soprano #opernsängerin #opera #sopran #oper #innocence #kaijasaariaho #thebride #bridalshop #weddingdress

German premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Innocence : ✅! I’m so proud to have been part of the cast for such an important piece, which has already been acclaimed worldwide and is quickly becoming a staple in the opera repertoire. If you haven’t seen it yet, we’ll be performing it 8 more times (5.10, 27.10, 10.11, 1.12, 29.12, 11.1, 16.2, 20.3), don’t miss it! The story is heartbreaking, but the music serves it so well and is so beautiful. I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible work done by every department at the @musiktheaterimrevier to bring this special production to life, and I’m deeply impressed 🤩 An opera stage is always very international, but this was something else, reflecting the opera itself in which 9 languages are spoken and sung 🤯 Congrats to everyone involved 👏👏👏! I can’t wait for the upcoming performances and hope the immense success of the premiere continues throughout the run 💪🤞 Conductor : Valtteri Rauhalammi Stage director : Elisabeth Stöppler @elisabethstoeppler Stage design : Ines Nadler Costume design : Frank Lichtenberg Light : Patrick Fuchs Sound design : Jörg Debbert Choir director Chorwerk Ruhr : Sebastian Breuing Dramaturgie : Larissa Wieczorek @larissawieczorek Kellnerin (Tereza) : Hanna Dóra Sturludóttir @hadostur Die Braut (Stela) : Me 🤓 Die Schwiegermutter (Patricia) : Katherine Allen @_katherineallen_ Der Bräutigam (Tuomas) : Khanyiso Gwenxane @khanyiso_g Der Schwiegervater (Henrik) : Benedict Nelson @ennobledinsect Der Priester : Philipp Kranjc @philippkranjc Die Lehrerin (Cecilia) : Anke Sieloff Schülerin 1 (Markéta) : Erika Hammarberg @erihammarberg Schülerin 2 (Lilly) : Bele Kumberger Schülerin 3 (Iris) : Elisa Marcelle Berrod @straightofthejungle Schüler 4 (Anton) : Sebastian Schiller Schüler 5 (Jerónimo) : Pablo Antonio Alvarado Mejìa Schülerin 6 (Alexia) : Danai Simantiri @danai.simantiri 📸 Karl und Monika Forster • • • #opera #operasinger #contemporarymusic #innocence #kaijasaariaho #soprano #sopranolife #opernsängerin #operasingersofinstagram #bride

I’m so looking forward to this new season 🤩! Such beautiful music, interesting characters and fascinating stories 🥹!! I already know it’s going to be challenging, rehearsing for one production during the week and performing one or two shows of something completely different in the weekend. Hope my brain will have enough space to store it all 🤞😬 Hope to see you there, all the infos can be found on my (new) website www.margotgenet.com (Linktree in my bio!) 📸 @katharina.kemme • • • #operasingersofinstagram #operasinger #sopranolife #opernsängerin #soprano #opera #classicalmusic #sopran #newseason #season2024_25 #hänselundgretel #innocence #carminaburana #laboheme #falstaff

🇬🇧 Over the moon to have won the Gelsenkirchener Theaterpreis 2024 🥳🤩! After only one year as an ensemble member of the @musiktheaterimrevier, I couldn’t believe my luck. Thank you to the jury and the @sparkasse.gelsenkirchen — it is a true honor 🙏! Congrats to my friends, colleagues and fellow prizewinners Heejin Kim, @semme01, and @ennobledinsect 👏👏👏! « The young French singer Margot Genet, who was recruited from the NRW Opera Studio, received the 3,000-euro prize as a highly promising lyric soprano with the ability to produce nuanced shades, especially for her cheeky portrayal of the schemer Despina in Mozart’s Così fan tutte. » Bernd Aulich, Recklinghäuser Zeitung 🇩🇪 Ganz überwältigt, dass ich den Gelsenkirchener Theaterpreis 2024 gewonnen habe 🥳🤩! Erst nach einem Jahr als Ensemblemitglied des Musiktheater im Revier, ich konnte es kaum glauben. Ich bedanke mich herzlich bei der Jury und der Sparkasse Gelsenkirchen – was für eine Ehre 🙏! Und herzlichen Glückwunsch auch an meine FreundInnen, KollegInnen und Mitpreisträger Heejin Kim, Simon Stricker und Benedict Nelson 👏👏👏! « Die aus dem NRW-Opernstudio übernommene junge Französin Margot Genet erhielt den mit je 3000 Euro dotierten Preis als schwer karriereverdächtiger, schattierungsfähiger lyrischer Sopran vor allem für ihre kecke Strippenzieherin Despina in Mozarts « Così fan tutte ». Bernd Aulich, Recklinghäuser Zeitung 🇫🇷 Très honorée d’avoir reçu le prix du Théâtre de Gelsenkirchen 2024 🥳🤩! Après seulement un an passé dans la troupe du Musiktheater im Revier, je n’en reviens toujours pas! Merci au jury et à la Sparkasse Gelsenkirchen, c’est un vrai honneur 🙏. Félicitations à mes ami.e.s, collègues et co-lauréats Heejin Kim, Simon Stricker und Benedict Nelson 👏👏👏! « La jeune Française Margot Genet, issue du NRW Opernstudio, a reçu le prix de 3 000 euros en tant que soprano lyrique au fort potentiel de carrière, dotée d’une grande capacité de nuances, notamment pour son interprétation audacieuse de la manipulatrice Despina dans Così fan tutte de Mozart. » Bernd Aulich, Recklinghäuser Zeitung 📸 Sophia Dorra and Cornelia Fischer

This banger from the finale of Rossini’s Il Viaggio a Reims was so fun to sing, but not fun to learn 🥵 14 different solo voices, what was he thinking?!! It’s now a fond memory, from the NRW Opera Studio’s 5 years jubilee gala last June at the @musiktheaterimrevier 🤩 Sharing the stage with old friends is always special, and I have to say @labourdettesoprano was an amazing fellow student, but she is an even cooler colleague 😘 To many more productions together! 🤞🥂 Conductor : Giuliano Betta With the @neuephilharmoniewestfalen • • • #operasinger #opera #opernsängerin #opernsängerinnen #rossini #viaggioareims #gala #sopranolife #operasingersofinstagram #classicalmusic #oper
