Interview: Three questions for Valérie Fleur Ryser
Why are you studying opera?
I love to delve into the depths of the different characters, personalities and stories and let my own colours flow into them or, conversely, to take a colour of them with me. I also think it's great that you can deal with very current topics through a production and at the same time immerse yourself in a completely different world.
What was your first encounter with opera?
When I was three and a half years old, my grandmother invited me to a children's performance of The Magic Flute at the Zurich Opera House. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about this beautiful event, but I still love The Magic Flute very much.
Which is your favourite opera and why?
It is very difficult for me to name a favourite opera, it changes all the time. However, I can't imagine opera without the classic La Bohème, also because it was the very first opera I attended alone. What touches me about it is that it is realistic and everyday things in life, and of course the beautiful music.
