“It was bound to happen, a star born... in the 21st century. Density, core, simplicity, character, mastery: remember this name,” Diapason writes of soprano Libby Sokolowski. In the upcoming 2024-2025 season, she makes role debuts as Fata Morgana in Prokofiev's Die Liebe zu den drei Orangen, Lady Macbeth in Verdi's Macbeth, and the title role of Puccini's Tosca at the Theater St. Gallen. Since transitioning to the dramatic soprano repertoire, she has performed in St. Gallen to great acclaim as Elvira (Verdi: Ernani), Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus), Sieglinde (Die Walküre, “Der Ring an einem Abend”), and the soprano soloist in a scenic production of Verdi's Messa da Requiem, for which she was praised for her "full, broad, dramatic soprano".
