Regarded as one of the leading sopranos of her generation, Slovak soprano Slávka Zámečníková is celebrated for the clarity and flexibility of her voice, expressive artistry, and commanding stage presence. She has appeared at many of the world’s leading opera houses, including the Vienna State Opera, Teatro alla Scala, Berlin State Opera, Opéra National de Paris, and San Francisco Opera. Following her success at the Moniuszko Competition, Neue Stimmen, and the Belvedere Competition in 2019, she has established herself as one of the most compelling artists of her generation.

Since joining the Vienna State Opera in 2020/21, she has performed an extensive repertoire there, including Norina (Don Pasquale), Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Micaëla and Frasquita (Carmen), Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Nannetta (Falstaff), Musetta (La Bohème), Sophie (Werther), Marzelline (Fidelio), and Servilia (La clemenza di Tito). She drew particular attention as Poppea (L’incoronazione di Poppea) and Euridice (L’Orfeo) in a new staging of Monteverdi’s trilogy under Pablo Heras-Casado with Concentus Musicus Wien. She has also sung the soprano solo in ballet premieres of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 and Haydn’s Die Jahreszeiten.

She will also appear as Donna Anna in a new production of Don Giovanni at the Opéra Bastille.
