On April 3nd, Anja Schneider presents a unique interdisciplinary project at the Salzburg Easter Festival, created in collaboration with renowned Berlin photographer Sven Marquardt. Set against the backdrop of Der Ring des Nibelungen, the evening offers a contemporary urban interpretation of Wagner's monumental work. Blending electronic music, visual art, and operatic elements, the performance reimagines Die Nibelungen through a modern, dystopian lens-raw, emotional, and deeply immersive. Accompanied by Marquardt's striking photographic works, Anja Schneider delivers an eclectic DJ set that engages directly with Wagner's themes, translating them into a deeply emotional electronic language. The result is an intense and captivating experience that draws the audience into a new sonic and visual narrative. As part of this project, Schneider has produced the Heartbroken EP in collaboration with Toni Planet. The release also features Berlin-based Brazilian opera singer João Tinen, whose voice adds a dramatic and expressive dimension to the work. The EP, titled after "Heartbroken"-the name given to the show by Sven Marquardt and Anja Schneider-will be released as a four-track project. The first part drops on April 2nd, marking the beginning of a deeply personal and artistically bold series. Musically, Heartbroken EP represents one of the most emotional and introspective bodies of work in Anja Schneider's career. Eclectic, contemporary, and uncompromising, the tracks offer a rare glimpse into the artist's inner world-layered with vulnerability, intensity, and depth. Framed by the evocative imagery of Sven Marquardt, this release transcends traditional genre boundaries, merging electronic music with operatic expression and visual storytelling into a singular artistic statement. https://www.instagram.com/anjaschneiderofficial
