Vera-Lotte Boecker triumphs as Mary Stuart in the world premiere of Of One Blood

With the world premiere of Brett Dean’s opera Of One Blood at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich in May 2026, Vera-Lotte Boecker enjoyed outstanding success in the role of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. In a role that is extremely demanding both musically and dramatically, she impressed audiences and the international press alike with her wonderful voice, emotional depth and extraordinary stage presence:

“With Vera-Lotte Boecker as Mary Stuart, we witness an exceptional singer both vocally and scenically; she delivers a breathtaking performance.” – Salzburger Nachrichten

“Vera-Lotte Boecker is Mary Stuart. Flamboyant, full of pride, torn by her emotions, and also obsessed with the lust for power that she will soon no longer possess. Indispensable and a vocal and dramatic sensation. What is essentially a lyrical role culminates in Boecker’s portrayal of the entire drama surrounding a woman and power itself, and how it corrodes people. This lends the evening a modernity, at first abstract, then concrete.” – Süddeutsche Zeitung

“Added to this is a consistently fine cast, with Vera-Lotte Boecker at the forefront. She outshines everyone against the snow-white wall of the history lab.” – OPER!
