*Just when you thought music was safe and definable again…*

The latest production-madness from StandYourSound has arrived: Die Kleine (Avant-Garde) Hardcore Operette; a Grungy collection of original Operetta and Musical Theatre riding on the wings of a Groove Metal rocket, fueled by Hardcore Punk and 60s Pop.

The band was formed when Mike Pehrsson of Skirt and Gompa met Szabina Schnöller, a Swiss-Hungarian soprano early in 2020. They began writing and performing a couple of songs together and decided to start a new project.

Szabina’s musical world has been Opera, Operettas, French and German Lieder and Arias from a young age. Studying under László Polgár at the Conservatorium of Zürich, she obtained her degree as a classical musician and soloist in 2009.

She was a member of the Swiss Opera Studio between 2010 and 2012. In 2011 she finished in first place at the International Schlossoper Haldenstein Opera Competition and debuted as Violetta (“La Traviata”).

Since then, she has performed the following important opera roles: Governess (The Turn of the Screw); Susanne (Mozart: The Marriage of Figaro) – Zürich Kulturmarkt, Violetta (La Traviata) – Schloss Haldenstein, Tonhalle Zürich, Theater Lindau; Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus / The Bat), Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Mrs. Ford (Salieri: Falstaff), and Lisa (Das Land des Lächelns / The Land of Smiles) – Theater Biel, Solothurn.

Now she has gone all out into a new strange world of Alternative Punk-Metal; with one high heel rooted firmly in the classical world, and the other stuck in Avant-Garde Pop, she has been able to give a new and unique voice and energy to the bizarre and heavy music written by Mike.
