Annette Schönmüller
Mezzo-soprano
– General Management –
The mezzo-soprano Annette Schönmüller enjoys an international reputation in the field of classical opera and in contemporary repertoire, appearing as a guest at venues such as the Theater an der Wien, Opernhaus Zürich, Oper Frankfurt, Wiener Konzerthaus, Konzerthaus Berlin and Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and festivals including the Berlin Festspiele, Festival Wien Modern, Munich Biennale, and Neue Oper Wien.
With her three-octave voice, for which numerous contemporary composers have written works, she transcends categorical professional and genre boundaries.
„Remarkable in her acting-voice devotion“ (Opernwelt), the singer stands for uncompromising vocal as well as performing commitment.
She has collaborated with artists including Peter Eötvös, Heinz Holliger, Adriana Hölszky, Aribert Reimann, Pierluigi Billone, Chaya Czernowin, Fabián Panisello, Andreas Homoki, Johannes Erath, Ludger Engels, Marco Štorman, Nicola Raab, Markus Stenz, Emilio Pomàrico, Johannes Kalitzke, Jonathan Stockhammer, Marino Formenti and Marin Alsop, to critical acclaim.
