In the new concert program "Divas", Mélanie Adami interprets the most beautiful melodies of the divas of the 20s and 30s; accompanied by pianist Claire Pasquier on the piano. Timeless songs that touch young and old alike. Who doesn't know songs like "Lili Marlene", "Can love be a sin" or "La Vie en Rose"? These are the songs that made names like Marlene Dietrich, Zarah Leander and Edith Piaf famous. Soprano Mélanie Adami reinterprets the music of yesteryear from her own perspective. Detached from the dust of the decades, the songs of the divas of yesteryear are to be preserved for future generations.
Mélanie Adami, soprano
Mélanie Adami has established herself as a versatile soprano with great stage presence. She gained her first experience in the opera choir of the Theater St. Gallen. Already during her studies at the Zurich University of the Arts (Master 2004), she performed as a soloist in opera and concerts. In 2002, she made her debut at the Lucerne Theater as Frasquita ("Carmen") and was a member of the ensemble there for several years - including as Oscar ("Un ballo in maschera") and Papagena ("Magic Flute"). She was artistically influenced by Inva Mula and master classes with Jill Feldman, among others.
She is particularly successful in operetta leading roles such as Hanna Glawari ("The Merry Widow") and Rosalinde ("Die Fledermaus"), which she has sung over 140 times. Her concert repertoire includes classical and romantic works as well as chamber music and piano songs.
In 2020, she founded the chamber concert series SonntagsKonzert in Winterthur, which she oversees and regularly helps to organize as artistic director. Her third album DIVAS was released in the same year. The fourth album Vergessene Lieder, Vergessene Lieb followed in 2024 with newly discovered works by her great-grandfather Willy Heinz Müller, sung with Äneas Humm and accompanied by Judit Polgar (Prospero Classical).

A scholarship took her to Italy, where she performed at La Scala Opera Studio and at international festivals.
Engagements have taken her to the English National Opera Studio, the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne and the Fondation Royaumont in Paris. She has worked for many years with the Israeli Vocal Arts Institute, the New Israeli Opera and the Metropolitan Opera New York. She later worked as a solo repetiteur at the Theater St. Gallen and at the Bregenz Festival.
