Soprano Slávka Zámecniková has been one of the most remarkable talents at least since her successes at the State Operas in Vienna and Berlin, at the Opéra de Paris, at the International May Festival in Wiesbaden, and as a prize-winner in various competitions, and justifies the greatest hopes.

At the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, she will appear as Daria in Prima la Mamma! At the Vienna State Opera, the sought-after artist will make her debut as Pamina in a new production of Die Zauberflöte. She will also be back as Susanna.

Here she celebrated her first successes as the First Lady (Die Zauberflöte), Miss Jessel (Turn of the Screw), Falke (Die Frau ohne Schatten) and Flora (La Traviata).
