Anna El-Khashem. Keval Shah
What's Blooming There?

Anna El-Khashem already announced in kindergarten that she wanted to be an opera singer. And then she really did make a brilliant start to her career: At the age of 17, she entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory, and three years later she became a member of the opera studio of the Bavarian State Opera. In 2018 she won the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg. She recently made her debut at the Salzburg Festival as Zerlina in Romeo Castellucci's new production of "Don Giovanni". In her first Heidelberg appearance, Anna El-Khashem will perform a colorful bouquet of romantic flower songs in the first part and art songs from her Russian homeland in the second.
