Slovak soprano Slávka Zámečníková is one of the most promising singers of her generation, inspiring great expectations since her successes at the State Operas in Vienna and Berlin, at the Opéra National de Paris, at the San Francisco Opera, at the International May Festival in Wiesbaden, and as a prize-winner at the Moniuszko Competition, Neue Stimmen Competition and Belvedere Competition in 2019, and justifies the greatest hopes.

Since the season 2020/2021, the center of her attention has been Vienna State Opera, where she delighted audience as Norina (Don Pasquale), Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Micaela and Frasquita (Carmen), Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Nannetta (Falstaff), Musetta (La Bohème), Sophie (Werther), Marzelline ( Fidelio), Servilia (La clemenza di Tito) and aroused public notice as Poppea (L’incoronazione di Poppea) and Euridice (L’Orfeo), both in a new production of Monteverdi’s trilogy under Pablo Heras-Casado and Concentus Musicus Wien. She rounded this off by singing the soprano part in the ballet premieres of Mahler’s 4th Symphony and Haydn’s Jahreszeiten. She was nominated for the Austrian Music Theatre Prize 2022 for the role of Poppea in the Vienna State Opera.

This season in Vienna State Opera includes the premiere of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, where she makes her Pamina debut and she is again going to appear in Le nozze di Figaro as Susanna. The highlights of this season are her debut as Gilda (Rigoletto) at the Opéra National de Paris, her first appearance in Semperoper Dresden as Musetta (La Bohème) and her debut at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein as Prima Donna in the premiere of Donizetti’s Viva la mamma. She is also going to appear in concert with Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, with the Beethoven’s 9th symphony at the Musikverein Wien and with a song recital at the Slovak Philharmonic.

Highlights of the past seasons were her remarkable US debut as Adina (L’elisir d’amore) at the San Francisco Opera, debut as Donna Anna in the new production of Don Giovanni under Daniel Barenboim at the Staatsoper unter den Linden in Berlin, where she also sang her first Nannetta (Falstaff) under Zubin Mehta, title role of Poppea (L’incoronazione di Poppea) and Dircé (Medée), as well as her celebrated debut at the Opéra National de Paris as Musetta (La Bohème). She was also part of the Maifestspiele at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden as Contessa (Le nozze di Figaro) and Ilia (Idomeneo), both in new productions in 2019 and 2021. She appeared in Staatsoper Stuttgart as Nannetta (Falstaff), in the Slovak National Theatre as Pamina (Die Zabuerflöte) and Musetta (La Bohème) and sang her first Sophie (Werther) in the Prague National Theatre. Holding a scholarship of Liz Mohn Kultur- und Musikstiftung during the seasons 2017/18 and 2018/19, she was a member of the International Opera Studio of Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin, achieving successes as First Lady (Die Zauberflöte), Miss Jessel (Turn of the Screw), Falke (Die Frau ohne Schatten), and as Chasseresse (Hyppolite et Aricie) under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, with whom she also did her debut at the Elbphiharmonie Hamburg and the Philharmonie de Paris in this role.
