Sarah Donata Schneider

Die Liebe zur Oper entdeckte Sarah durch Ursel und Karl-Ernst Herrmanns Pariser Inszenierung von La clemenza di Tito. Seit Abschluss ihres Magisterstudiums mit einer interdisziplinären Arbeit über Richard Wagner promoviert sie am Mainzer Institut für Theaterwissenschaft über deren Mozartinszenierungen. Neben Wagner und Strauss gilt ihre Leidenschaft besonders dem Verismo. Musik ist für sie „Teil des schwingenden Weltalls“ (Busoni).
