This week Susanne Resmark returns to the Bayerische Staatsoper in one of her most celebrated roles, Mistress Quickly (Falstaff), conducted by Asher Fisch. The production opens on 12 February and marks Susanne’s return to Munich after her highly successful last appearance at the house as Mère Marie (Dialogues des Carmélites) under Kent Nagano.

Considered as one of today’s leading dramatic mezzo-sopranos, Susanne Resmark recently added the role of the Witch in Humperdinck’s Hansel und Gretel to an already extensive repertoire, including Strauss’ Die Amme (Die Frau ohne Schatten), Puccini’s Zia Principessa (Suor Angelica), Janaček’s Kabanicha (Káťa Kabanová) and Dvořák’s Ježibaba (Rusalka).
