Following her triumphant recital success in New York’s Carnegie Hall and Washington D.C., the Austrian Mezzo-soprano returns to both New York and Washington with a Mahler program in the 2007/08 season. She sings Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis in Brixen, Bozen and Trient under Gustav Kuhn, with whom she also collaborates on Beethovens Symphony N° 9 at the Mozarteum Salzburg. She sings Bach’s Matthäus-Passion at the Wiener Konzerthaus as well as in Italy. She then goes on concert tour through the Netherlands with Zemlinsky’s Maeterlinck-Lieder and makes her debut with Verdi’s Messa da Requiem at the Haydn-Festspiele Eisenstadt. Hermine Haselböck concludes her season with the 2. Dame in Mozart’s Zauberflöte at the Theater an der Wien under the baton of Jean-Christophe Spinosi.

After making her debut at the Wiener Klangbogen 2006, appearing in Erwin Schulhoff’s Flammen conducted by Bertrand de Billy, Hermine Haselböck began the 2006/07 season with a revival of the Zauberflöte under Fabio Luisi at the Theater an der Wien and the Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg.
