At the end of a fully packed season, Margot Genet is back to the Gelsenkirchen Musiktheater taking part in a production consisting of two one-act operas: Das Wundertheater by Hans Werner Henze and Wachsfigurenkabinett by Karl Amadeus Hartmann. Das Wundertheater, Henze’s first opera (in the 1948 original version written as an „opera for actors“, revised for singers in 1965), is based on The Altarpiece of the Wonders, an intermezzo within Cervantes’ Don Quixote). Hartmann’s Wachsfigurenkabinett (Waxworks) remained unfinished in 1928. Being very familiar with Hartmann’s music, Henze pursued the completion of the piece together with composer-colleagues Wilfried Hiller and Günter Bialas committed not to change a single of Hartmann’s notes. Right after this interesting project Margot will happily join the Atelier Lyrique of the Verbier Festival Academy!

Margot Genet proceeds determinedly her own way, drifted ashore by favourable winds as well as significant recognition. In June she was awarded the scholarship "Malvina et Denise Menda" from the Opéra Comique in Paris, followed by the invitation as an awardee of the Royaumont Foundation to sing the role of Poppea in a production of Haendel's Agrippina. As from this season 2021/22 she is a member of the NRW opera-studio which offers her the opportunity to join numerous stage-productions of four different German Opera Companies: Dortmund, Essen, Gelsenkirchen and Wuppertal. Starting in Gelsenkirchen with Eurydice in Orpheus in the Underworld and followed by one of the title-roles in The Sultan’s Children in Dortmund, a world-premiere by Avner Dorman.
