Pamina in Die Zauberflöte at Deutsche Oper Berlin
2026-09-10 19:30, 2026-10-17 19:30 UTC | Deutsche Oper Berlin, Bismarckstraße 35, Berlin, Berlin, 10627, Germany
Emily Pogorelc makes her Berlin debut singing Pamina in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte at the Deutsche Oper Berlin — her first performances in the German capital. Directed by Günter Krämer in a production that has been a cornerstone of the Deutsche Oper repertoire since its 1991 premiere, the staging conjures two vividly opposed worlds: the nocturnal realm of the Queen of the Night and the sun-drenched temple of Sarastro, with Tamino and Papageno navigating primeval forests populated with lions, rhinoceroses, and serpents along the way. Tomáš Netopil conducts the Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin.
Pogorelc is joined by tenor Kieran Carrel as Tamino, bass Nicolai Elsberg as Sarastro, soprano Maria Sardaryan as the Queen of the Night, and baritone Padraic Rowan as Papageno.

Rossini Stabat Mater with Radio Filharmonisch Orkest at TivoliVredenburg
2026-11-06 20:30 UTC | TivoliVredenburg — Grote Zaal, Vredenburgkade 11, Utrecht, 3511 WC, Netherlands
mily Pogorelc makes her debut with the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest, the Groot Omroepkoor, and Utrecht’s TivoliVredenburg, joining conductor Edward Gardner for an evening of Rossini’s Stabat Mater — a work that transforms the medieval prayer for the grieving Virgin Mary into something closer to lyric opera, with soaring vocal writing that sits at the intersection of devotion and drama. The concert, part of the AVROTROS Vrijdagconcert series, is broadcast live on NPO Klassiek radio and streamed online. It is programmed alongside Busoni’s Berceuse élégiaque and Strauss’s Tod und Verklärung, placing Rossini’s luminous score in an evening-long meditation on mourning and transcendence.
Pogorelc is joined by mezzo-soprano Ekaterine Buachidze, tenor Edgardo Rocha, and bass Giorgi Manoshvili.

Rossini Stabat Mater at the Royal Concertgebouw (House Debut)
2026-11-08 11:00 UTC | Royal Concertgebouw — Main Hall, Concertgebouwplein 10, Amsterdam, 1071 LN, Netherlands
Emily Pogorelc makes her debut at the Royal Concertgebouw, one of the world’s most celebrated concert halls, joining conductor Edward Gardner and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra for a Sunday morning performance of Rossini’s Stabat Mater. Presented as part of the Concertgebouw’s Sunday Morning Concert series just two days after the same ensemble’s Friday performance at TivoliVredenburg, this concert focuses solely on Rossini’s score — stripping away the surrounding program to place the work in full relief. In Rossini’s hands, Mary’s grief over her crucified son becomes something operatic and expansive, threading moments of intimate contemplation through music of genuine dramatic sweep. The National Radio Choir brings particular expertise to this repertoire.
Pogorelc is joined by mezzo-soprano Ekaterine Buachidze, tenor Edgardo Rocha, and bass Giorgi Manoshvili.

Emily Pogorelc returns to the Wiener Staatsoper as Adina in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore, following her appearance there as Nannetta in Verdi’s Falstaff last season. Otto Schenk’s beloved production — a cornerstone of the Vienna repertoire, staged with warmth, wit, and an abiding affection for Donizetti’s characters — provides the perfect frame for one of the composer’s most irresistible comedies. Pogorelc is joined by tenor Bogdan Volkov as Nemorino and bass-baritone Ambrogio Maestri as Dulcamara, one of the great interpreters of that role on the world stage, under the baton of conductor Leonardo Sini.

Despina in Così fan tutte at Royal Opera House (House & Role Debut)

Emily Pogorelc makes her Royal Opera House debut as Despina in Mozart’s Così fan tutte — also her role debut in the part — in a new production directed by Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, in her own Main Stage debut. Jones, renowned for her inventive use of digital media, reimagines Mozart’s comedy of manners through a sharply contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery collides with high-tech deceit: a production that finds new sting in a work that has been scandalising audiences since 1790. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
Pogorelc joins a stellar cast led by soprano Louise Alder as Fiordiligi, mezzo-soprano Simone McIntosh as Dorabella, tenor Mingjie Lei as Ferrando, baritone Huw Montague Rendall as Guglielmo, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley as Don Alfonso.

Emily Pogorelc makes her debut with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and conductor Nathalie Stutzmann in one of the great choral monuments of the repertoire: Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem. A work of profound tenderness, it sets texts not of grief but of comfort — a hymn of consolation that moves from mourning to transcendence with extraordinary grace. The concert opens with the Duet-Concertino by Richard Strauss, featuring the artistry of ASO principals Jesse McCandless and Cameron Bonner.
Pogorelc is joined by baritone Samuel Hasselhorn. Of her previous performance of the Requiem with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Seen and Heard International wrote that her “full-bodied voice bloomed clear and true” in the soprano’s aria Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit.
