Flora and Miles are ready for the dress rehearsal of "The Turn of the Screw"! 💖
An intense time lies behind us - full of secrets and many questions between reality and fantasy, heaven and hell.
With every rehearsal I found more access to Britten's sound world, and this eerily beautiful piece has really grown on me! 🫶🏼
Now I'm really looking forward to the premiere on Saturday and cordially invite you to immerse yourself in the Bly cosmos...👻

It was a great pleasure to sing two concerts last weekend together with the wonderful @wuppertalerkurrende and the great @concerto_koeln - a perfect start to the summer break! ☀️
"The young singer Lara Rieken sings her aria clearly and beautifully, with a brightly timbred, youthful soprano"
- Westdeutsche Zeitung (07.07.25)
Another milestone reached. The end of an era. A new beginning. Pure gratitude. 💖
Bachelor of Music - 1.0 with honours. 🎓
I am absolutely overwhelmed by all the feelings, moments and encounters on this special day. 🥹
I would like to thank all the lovely people who have accompanied me - in the hall, in their hearts or from afar. It wouldn't have been the same without you! 🫶🏼
@doriana_tchakarova - for the inspiring musical collaboration, your passion and your generous support far beyond the lessons. I learnt an incredible amount from you, not only artistically, but also in terms of career, design and inner attitude.
@eberhardleuser - for many hours of angelic patience. No matter what repertoire I wanted, you were always ready to rehearse whatever I needed with me. Your calmness, reliability and musical clarity were a constant anchor for me.
Especially @thilodahlmann - the rock of my entire degree programme. In times of doubt, emergency calls before competitions or confusing practice sessions: Thilo was always there.
Dear Thilo,
Your patience, your warmth, your calm and your incomparable humour have carried me, shaped me and allowed me to grow. Without you, I would not be the singer - and not the person - that I am today.
Last but not least: my family.
You have given me everything that cannot be learnt: Support, love, trust - and the secure feeling of not being alone.
This path was only possible because I had you by my side.
❤️
My debut at @theatertrier is done! 🥰
Yesterday evening, the picnic concert took place in front of the impressive backdrop of the Porta Nigra, in bright sunshine, together with great colleagues and the wonderful Trier Philharmonic Orchestra.
Under the baton of General Music Director @jochemhochstenbach and in front of an audience of over 4000 people - an all-round wonderful summer evening! ☀️
"You could almost get the impression that Leonard Bernstein hated sopranos and wanted to get back at them with this aria. Because what the singer has to do in terms of interval leaps, key changes and colouratura from bar to bar is really mean. The Queen of the Night can pack her bags.
The newcomer was accordingly acclaimed by her new audience."

A new chapter begins! 💗
From the 2025/26 season, I will be part of the wonderful ensemble at Trier Theatre - my very first permanent season directly after my bachelor's degree! 🎉
And this season has it all:
I can celebrate several debuts - as Blonde in Mozart's "Abduction from the Seraglio", as Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady" and as the mysterious Flora in Britten's "The Turn of the Screw".
My debut as Pamina in a children's opera version of The Magic Flute will also be a very special project close to my heart - because it was precisely this work that ignited the spark that led me to singing. Königskinder by Humperdinck will also be part of my first year at the theatre. ✨
Between opera and musical, fairy tale and madness, Mozart's virtuosity and Britten's dark depth, I can immerse myself in a season full of colours, contrasts and new challenges.
Trier - I'm really looking forward to making you my new home! 🥹

Last night it was time to say goodbye to our production of "Don Giovanni" at the Heilbronn Theatre - and what a special journey it was! Questo è il fin! 🥹
This production was not only an artistic enrichment for me, but also a human gift. I was able to learn, grow and discover so much as a singer and performer - and above all, I was able to meet wonderful people and create magical memories with them that I will treasure forever. 🧡
A huge thank you to our musical directors @ristojoost and @vilmantas_kaliunas , to our director Axel Vornam and our assistant director @alina__sophiie, to the fantastic @wko_heilbronn , as well as to @manfredi.emia and @maxi.menin.cela on the fortepianos - and to everyone at @theater_heilbronn for this magical time! ✨
Embodying the role of Zerlina was a special pleasure, a challenge and an affair of the heart at the same time. 👰🏼♀️
Above all, however, it is a great honour for me to have shared the stage with these wonderful colleagues:
@frazankotwalbaritone (Don Giovanni)
@junoh_leeeeee (The Commander)
@kimarry._.me_ (Donna Anna)
@lars_tappert (Don Ottavio)
@anastasia_wanek (Donna Elvira)
@mathias_toenges (Leporello)
@benedikt._.lutz (Masetto)
Bravi tutti - I will miss you! 🫶🏼
Zerlina knows how to conquer men's hearts...
But will she manage to get Masetto to stay with her? Will there be a happy ending for Zerlina and Masetto? 💍
When Don Giovanni returns to the stage, heartache, seduction and doubt are inevitable. ❤️🔥
Come along and find out for yourself! 😜
