Worldwide representation (exclusive: Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland)

Soprano Slávka Zámecniková has been one of the most remarkable talents at least since her successes at the State Operas in Vienna and Berlin, at the Opéra de Paris, at the International May Festival in Wiesbaden, and as a prize-winner in various competitions, and justifies the greatest hopes.

In the 2023/24 season, the Vienna State Opera will again be the artist's center of attention. Here Slávka Zamecnikova will be seen as Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), Micaela (Carmen), Nannetta (Falstaff) as well as in her role debuts as Sophie (Rosenkavalier) and Sevilla (Clemenza di Tito). In addition, she will make her first guest appearances as Adina (Elisir d'amore) at the San Francisco Opera and as Nannetta at the Stuttgart State Opera. In Oviedo she will sing the soprano part in Mahler's 2nd Symphony. A special honor is the invitation to the memorial concert for Lucia Popp in Bratislava.

Highlights of the past seasons were her role debut as Donna Anna under the baton of Daniel Barenboim at the Berlin State Opera as well as her interpretation of the title role in Poppea at the State Operas in Vienna and Berlin. With Musetta (La Bohème) Slávka Zamecnikova made her celebrated debut at the Opéra de Paris. She made her acclaimed debut at the Vienna State Opera as Norina in Don Pasquale. In Wiesbaden she made her role debut as Contessa in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro at the International May Festival. Further highlights of her career were Nannetta under Zubin Mehta at the Staatsoper unter den Linden and Dircé in Medée. She returned to the Prague National Theater as Sophie in Werther.

Concert engagements have taken Slávka Zámecniková to the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Czech Philharmonic, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Rheingau Music Festival, the Hvorostovsky Festival in Krasnoyarsk, and with Mozart's Requiem to the Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Festival in Sochi.

In the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons she was a member of the International Opera Studio of the Berlin State Opera and a scholarship holder of the Liz Mohn Culture and Music Foundation. Here she celebrated her first successes as the First Lady (Die Zauberflöte), Miss Jessel (Turn of the Screw), Falke (Die Frau ohne Schatten) and Flora (La Traviata). At the Wiesbaden International May Festival she made her debut as Ilia in the new production of Idomeneo.

Slávka Zámecniková's concert repertoire includes Mahler's 2nd and 4th symphonies, which she has sung in a ballet production at the Vienna State Opera as well as at the Prague Spring Festival, Liszt's Coronation Mass, masses by Mozart, Orff's Carmina Burana as well as Haydn's Creation and The Seasons.

The soprano first completed vocal training at the Bratislava Conservatory and received her master's degree at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" Berlin in the vocal class of Anna Samuil. She completed master classes with Anna Tomowa-Sintow, Brigitte Fassbaender, Deborah Polaski, Patricia McCaffrey, Francisco Araiza, Neil Shicoff, Thomas Quasthoff, Gregory Lamar, Luciana D'Intino, Júlia Várady and Wolfram Rieger.
