Returning to Oper Frankfurt, Ambur Braid makes her role debut as Rachel in Halévy’s La Juive. Tatjana Gürbaca directs and Henrik Nánási conducts, with performances opening on 16 June.

Known for her dramatic conviction, powerful emotional range, and disarming soprano, Braid has become synonymous with the role of Salome in recent seasons. Debuts as Die Färberin (Die Frau ohne Schatten), Senta (Der fliegende Holländer), Eva (Schreker’s Irrelohe) and Stephana (Giordano’s Siberia) have brought critical praise for her performances of ​“psychological complexity thanks to a voice driven by pure emotion.” (Opera Online).
