  Agnes Selma Weiland

  Agnes Selma Weiland was recently seen in the role of "Turandot" in Puccini's opera of the same name and is currently performing as the Electress in C. Zeller's operetta Der Vogelhändler. The soprano, born in Dresden, graduated with honors from the HfMT Leipzig, where she completed her vocal diploma, and subsequently became a member of Renata Scotto's opera studio in Rome. Her stage career began as Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus and Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni at the Theater Bremen. As a scholarship holder of the Richard Wagner Association Leipzig, she was given the early opportunity to study and present roles from the great dramatic soprano repertoire. She performed Sieglinde and later Brünnhilde in the Ring for Children at the Leipzig Opera, as well as the First Lady in Mozart's The Magic Flute. Other important milestones in her career took her to the Opéra National de Lyon (including Susanna in Hindemith's Sancta Susanna) and the Theater Basel. At the Tiroler Festspiele, she performed Elisabeth in Tannhäuser, Elsa in Lohengrin, and Verdi’s Aida. Through her numerous international concert tours across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the USA, she has consistently impressed with her secure high notes, warm timbre, strong stage presence, and deep empathy for her repertoire and roles. In November 2023, her CD SOLO ME was released. She is a scholarship holder of the GVL and a prizewinner in several international competitions, such as the XIII.

  Adriana Mladenova

  Born into a family of singers, Adriana Mladenova grew up in the Operettenhaus and among various choirs. Her musical education began at the age of 5 in her home country of Bulgaria. She did not follow her parents' idea of becoming a singer but instead remained devoted to the piano. This has been her instrument of choice throughout her life, having been trained in two specialized schools and further honed through rigorous studies at the Dresden University of Music. Her passion for chamber music developed early on and became Adriana Mladenova's most cherished field of activity. She believes that in ensemble playing, the liveliness of music can be felt most profoundly. She has accepted invitations to the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in Maine, USA, and the Parkhouse Award in London, and regularly performs in various settings with string players, wind musicians, chamber orchestras, and even often takes on a prominent soloist role in symphony orchestras. Following her own studies, she spent over 20 years as a lecturer at the Dresden University of Music, where she was responsible for the musical training of subsequent generations of young musicians.
