She appeared as Anna in the world premiere of Gerd Kühr's Paradiese.

Life and career[edit]

Hinterdobler was born in Straubing. She attended a gymnasium focused on music and was a member of its chamber choir, conducted by Gerold Huber, the father of the pianist. She took part in oratorio performances, with tours to Italy, and in opera productions, performing more and more demanding roles as a soloist.[1] She was enrolled at the University of Music and Theatre Munich as a young student already when still going to school, and the studied voice there, together with several former members of the Tölzer Knabenchor, who influenced the class towards team spirit. She also studied at the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding, voice with Andreas Schmidt and Lied with Helmut Deutsch.[2] She appeared on the stage of the Prinzregententheater in Mozart's La finta giardiniera in a student project with the academy.[1]

Hinterdobler became a member of the ensemble of the Leipzig Opera in 2014, and remained until 2022.[2][3] She appeared there in title roles in Dvořák's Rusalka and Marie in Smetana's The Bartered Bride. She performed as Micaëla in Bizet's Carmen, in Mozart roles and as Puccini's Mimì in La bohème and Liù in Turandot.[2] She performed in 2017 as Ännchen in Weber's Der Freischütz, and a reviewer described her aria as a "delicious account".[4] She appeared as Anna in the world premiere of Gerd Kühr's Paradiese, and a reviewer from the Süddeutsche Zeitung noted that she was an "erotic elemental force ... with a colorful, sensual soprano".[2]

Hinterdobler appeared at the Oper Frankfurt as Eva in a new production of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg in 2022, directed by Johannes Erath and conducted by Sebastian Weigle.[5][6] She became a member of the ensemble in 2023,[7] and appeared there as Elisabetta in Verdi's Don Carlo and Chrysothemis in Elektra by Richard Strauss.[7] She was cast as Grete in Zemlinsky's Der Traumgörge (Görge the Dreamer) in 2024, directed by Tilmann Köhler and conducted by Markus Poschner.[8][9] Zemlinsky's work was not performed when it was composed in 1907 at the Vienna State Opera as planned by Gustav Mahler, then the music director, and was revived only in 1980.[8][9] The title character Görge is an outsider as a bookworm, dreamer and intellectual.[8][9] Hinterdobler portrayed Grete, whom Görge is supposed to marry but she is unable to comprehend him.[10] A reviewer noted that she took "a more straightforwardly bold, sassy approach to the role".[11]
