Soprano Jenifer Lary joined the ensemble of Theater Heidelberg for the 2020-21 season, and caused a sensation with her debut as Lulu in Alban Berg's opera in a new production directed by Axel Vornam (cond. Elias Grandy).  The production was livestreamed in April 2021.

For the seasons prior to the current, Jenifer was an ensemble member at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater in Görlitz, Germany. While in Görlitz, Jenifer was heard in 2019/20 as Adele in Strauss's classic Die Fledermaus, Dinorah in Meyerbeer's opera of the same name, Annina in Strauss's Eine Nacht in Venedig, Jenny in Weill's Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny, Zerlina (Don Giovanni), and the lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita.

The Austrian soprano's roles at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater in 2018/19 included Annina in Johann Strauss's Eine Nacht in Venedig, Rosina in The Barber of Seville, Franziska Cagliari in Johann Strauss's Wiener Blut, and Marzelline in Fidelio.

Upon joining the Görlitz ensemble in 2017/18, Jenifer sang roles that season in four new productions at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater: Wanda in Offenbach's The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein, Anna Gomez in Menotti's The Consul, the Young Shepherd in Tannhäuser, and Blondchen in Die Entführung aus dem Serail. With the role of Barbarina in Le nozze di Figaro, she also made debuts at the Bregenz Festival in summer 2017 and the Vienna Volksoper in early 2018.

The young soprano previously appeared as Sand- und Taumännchen in Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel at the Landestheater Linz, Zerlina in Don Giovanni at the Schlosstheater Schönbrunn, and as the Contessa di Folleville in Rossini's Il viaggio a Reims at the studio stage of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. In December 2016 she gave her debut as Gretel in Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel at the Schlosstheater Schönbrunn and in November 2016 she was awarded 2nd Prize at the Nico Dostal Singing Competition.

Jenifer Lary studied singing with Ulrike Sych and Christa Razenböck at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz. She then pursued Master's studies in singing under Prof. Claudia Visca at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, where she graduated with distinction in 2017.
