In recent seasons German soprano Dorothea Herbert has become established on the stage of many European opera houses. She made her house debut at Semperoper Dresden in Weber’s Freischütz in 2019 and covered the role of Eva in the Salzburg Easter Festival production of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at the Semperoper conducted by Christian Thielemann. Dorothea made her first appearance at the Nationaltheater Mannheim in 2017 as Amelia in Un ballo in Maschera and returned there in the 2018-19 season to perform Donna Anna in Don Giovanni. She made her debuts the following season as Salome at Theater Krefeld Mönchengladbach and as Gerhilde in Wagner’s Die Walküre at Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam under the baton of Marc Albrecht. In 2020, Dorothea made her debut at Theater an der Wien in Christof Loy’s production of Zazà. 
 Rave reviews followed Dorothea’s debut in the title role of Rusalka at Theater Krefeld in March 2020, prompting the Neue Ruhr Zeitung to predict that she ‘is on the brink of a really great career’ and Opernmagzin to conclude that ‘she convinced throughout the evening with a wonderfully balanced voice’. 
 Dorothea Herbert is set to make her UK debut in autumn 2021 as Leonore in Glyndebourne’s new production of Fidelio. Other highlights include Wagner’s Sieglinde at Staatstheater Darmstadt. She will also return to the role of Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer at the State Opera in Prague in 2022.
