Sophie Rennert transitions from her previous role as the lovesick Ruggiero in Handel’s Alcina to the disappointed and vengeful Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. Rubén Dubrovsky, the chief conductor of Gärtnerplatztheater, leads the revival of Herbert Föttinger’s 2017 production. Shortly afterwards, Sophie Rennert will reprise her role as Charlotte in Massenet’s Werther, which she debuted last season. Prior to that, she will once again perform as Carmen in a production that the Süddeutsche Zeitung described as “Bizet’s opera classic with a spectacular Sophie Rennert”. This performance celebrates the 150th anniversary of the world premiere of Carmen on March 3, 1875.
