[2026 Weiwuying International Music Festival] Soprano Hanna-Elisabeth MÜLLER Vocal Recital - Love and Twilight
"My better soul, my better self!" SCHUMANN's wedding gift to his beloved Clara, Myrthen, is a collection of 26 art songs of love. Among them is the celebrated intimate declaration of devotion Widmung. This recital features 11 of the set, interpreted by acclaimed Hanna-Elisabeth MÜLLER, whose crystal-pure voice gives them life, with long-time duo partner pianist Juliane RUF. POULENC's La courte Paille follows - seven songs infused with childlike innocence, wonder, imagination: gentle lullabies, dreamlike adventures, the Queen of Hearts. Shifting images of nature reflect solitude, longing, and release in the emotional depth of SCHUMANN's Lenau-Lieder. The program concludes with five songs by R. STRAUSS, operatic lyricism evoking fervent love or the poet's spirit contemplating the pastoral.

Soprano｜Hanna-Elisabeth MÜLLER
Hanna-Elisabeth MÜLLER, possessing "a voice as if cut from crystal" by Salzburger Nachrichten, is considered in equal measure to be one of today's foremost interpreters of Lied and concert repertoire, and one of the most sought-after operatic artists. MÜLLER had her international breakthrough at the 2014 Salzburg Easter Festival as Zdenka in Richard STRAUSS' Arabella, co-starring with Renèe FLEMING and Thomas HAMPSON under the baton of Christian THIELEMANN. For this role, she was voted "Young Artist of the Year" by Opernwelt magazine. MÜLLER is a frequent guest of the world's leading opera houses and festivals, including the Bayerische Staatsoper, the Vienna Staatsoper, the Metropolitan Opera, Dresden's Semperoper, Teatro alla Scala, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opernhaus Zurich, and the Salzburg Festival, among others.
In the 2025/26 season, MÜLLER takes on three major new productions at leading houses. She tours Japan with the Vienna State Opera, appearing at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan as the Contessa in Le nozze di Figaro, conducted by Bertrand de BILLY in Barrie KOSKY's acclaimed staging. In the same role, she makes her company debut with the Paris Opera under Antonello MANACORDA in a new production by Netia JONES. She returns to the Vienna State Opera as Vitellia in a new production of La clemenza di Tito, conducted by Pablo HERAS-CASADO and directed by Jan LAUWERS.
