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. International Singing Competition in Bilbao.
