Annina Gieré – Lyric Soprano

​

Annina Gieré (*1991, Zurich) is a multi-faceted artist: first and foremost a classical singer and active on the opera stage, but also at home as an actress on the theatre stage, in the song and concert repertoire and also in cross-over style.

​

Annina studied classical singing at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne with Frédéric Gindraux, completed her Master’s in Advanced Vocal Studies at the Wales International Academy of Voice in Cardiff/UK with Dennis O'Neill and is currently being trained vocally by Heidi Wölnerhanssen.

​

Active as a singer and actress in Switzerland and abroad, her performances have taken her to Italy, France, Spain, England, Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece, Cyprus, Romania, the USA and Colombia.

Among her opera roles already performed on stage are Susanna (Mozart, Le Nozze di Figaro), Ilia (Mozart, Idomeneo), Fiordiligi (Mozart Così fan tutte), Arminda (Mozart, La Finta Giardiniera), Giulietta (Bellini, I Capuleti e i Montecchi), Musetta (Puccini, La Bohème), Manon (Massenet, Le portrait de Manon; Manon), La dame blanche (Boieldieu, La dame blanche), Émilie (Rameau, Les Indes galantes) and others.

Annina also travels regularly as an actress, especially in plays in the style of Commedia dell'arte, in German, French, Italian, Spanish and English, often with ArscomicA side by side with Maestro Antonio Fava or with her own Compagnia Za-Zà.

​

In addition, Annina is enthusiastically devoted to developing her own projects, such as a literary-musical program around Goethe's character "Mignon" from Wilhelm Meister's apprenticeship years, or Duo Horizons (voice, accordion) which focuses mainly on French chanson.

​

Also worthy of note in Annina’s career is her participation as the sole singer and actress in Daniel Ernst's Fernwehoper, a virtual reality computer game that has won numerous prizes around the world.

​

Together with actor Carlos Becker, she runs theatre courses for young people and adults at Atelier Theater Meilen - in physical theatre styles such as the bande mimée or human comedy with their own created masks.

​

Annina is fluent in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian. Apart from her profession - but often integrated into it - she loves dance, languages, Latin American boleros, Greece and chocolate and is mother of a wonderful son.
