Tamara Wilson

Die mehrfach ausgezeichnete amerikanische Sängerin begann ihre Laufbahn im Houston Grand Opera Studio und gastiert inzwischen an renommierten internationalen Opernbühnen. Kürzlich gab die Sopranistin als Aida ihr Debüt an der Metropolitan Opera in New York und als Norma am Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. Zu ihrem Repertoire zählen die großen Verdi-, Mozart- und Strauss-Partien: So sang sie bereits Lucrezia Contarini / I DUE FOSCARI, Leonora / DER TROUBADOUR, Elektra / IDOMENEO, Konstanze / DIE ENTFÜHRUNG AUS DEM SERAIL, aber auch Rosalinde / DIE FLEDERMAUS sowie Lady Billows / ALBERT HERRING.

In der aktuellen Saison debütiert Tamara Wilson mit Leonora / LA FORZA DEL DESTINO an der English National Opera in London.

Nach ihrem Deutschland-Debüt in Wagners DIE FEEN im Jahr 2011 und ihrem umjubelten Porträt der Kaiserin / DIE FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN (liegt auch als CD bei OehmsClassic vor) im Jahr 2014 kehrt Tamara Wilson als Elisabeth von Valois / DON CARLO auch in der Saison 2015/2016 an die Oper Frankfurt zurück.

Adventskalender im Foyer: Das 20. Fensterchen

Today in the Parkettfoyer: A greeting from South Africa with the Magaliesberg Children's Choir
Conductor: Hannelie van Sittert
5:00 p.m. / Parkettfoyer
Duration: approx. 25 minutes / Free admission


The award-winning Magaliesberg Children's Choir from Pretoria (South Africa) is coming to Berlin as part of its ‘Christmas Europe Tour 2024’: Not only will they sing in our Advent calendar today, but also on Sunday in one of Berlin's most beautiful churches, the Apostel-Paulus-Kirche in Schöneberg. The traditional Christmas concert by the Young Chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Kammersymphonie Berlin will feature works by Michael Praetorius, George Frederic Handel, Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir David Valentine Willcocks and international Christmas carols, performed by the guests from South Africa and others.

In today's Advent Calendar window, the young artists from the other end of the world will perform, among other things, the traditional ‘Cikala Le Pong Pong’, a folk song from northern Sumatra that is still sung today at the opening of ceremonial celebrations. This is followed by Koos de Plessis' Christmas song “Somerkersfees” and an African medley combining the songs “Mangisondele Nkosi Yam”, “Tico”, “San'nonani” and the traditional “Ndavana”.

The Magaliesberg Children's Choir was founded in October 1997 with 44 members. The choir consists of schoolchildren from grades 4 to 12 from various schools in Pretoria. Thanks in part to the commitment of its choirmaster Hannelie van Sittert, the choir has not only participated extremely successfully in numerous international competitions, but has also spun and maintained a network of international friendships and collaborations, including contacts in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, the Czech Republic. In 2013, the Magaliesberg Children's Choir was invited to take part in a programme in Europe that brought young people together through choral music: the 8th International Johannes Brahms Choir Competition in Wernigerode. There, the children's choir won two gold medals and thus qualified for the 2014 World Choir Olympics in Latvia, where 450 choirs from 73 countries, including 83 children's choirs, met in the country's capital, Riga. The Magaliesberg Children's Choir won the gold medal and the silver medal for folklore. Experience the tradition and expertise cultivated over the years in African song with the programme of our last live window today in the parquet foyer of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.

We hope that all our little programmes have brought you joy during the Advent season. In the next few days until Christmas Eve, four more Advent raffles await you. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025!
