Career

Born in Los Angeles, Gayer is of Finno-Ugric and Indian ancestry.[1] She studied voice, violin, and musicology in Los Angeles[1] and moved to Germany on a Fulbright scholarship in the 1950s, studying at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin with Irma Beilke.[3] She is also a trained ballet dancer.[1]

On 13 April 1961, she performed the female lead role (Die Gefährtin) in the premiere of Luigi Nono's Intolleranza 1960 at La Fenice in Venice,[3] and was afterwards engaged by Rudolf Sellner as a member of the ensemble of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.[1] She appeared in Europe in classical repertory, and especially in contemporary opera, in roles such as Hilde Mack in Henze's Elegie für junge Liebende and Marie in Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Die Soldaten, staged by Hans Neuenfels. Several composers wrote roles for her voice, including Aribert Reimann, who wrote Melusine for her.[7] She took part in several premieres of new operas. On 24 April 1963, she performed in the first scenic production of Darius Milhaud's trilogy Orestie, which was also the premiere of its third part, at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. On 25 September 1965, she appeared in the premiere of Isang Yun's Der Traum des Liu-Tung at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, conducted by Ulrich Weder, with Barry McDaniel in the title role. On 29 September 1968, she performed in Luigi Dallapiccola's Ulisse at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, conducted by Lorin Maazel. On 19 April 1971, she sang the title role in Reimann's Melusine at the Schwetzingen Festival, conducted by Reinhard Peters.[7] On 26 July 1976, she appeared in Josef Tal's Die Versuchung (The Temptation) at the Bavarian State Opera, conducted by Gary Bertini. She also sang roles in the classical repertory, including Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea. She appeared as Berg's Lulu at several opera houses.[1]
