Vera Semieniuk was engaged as a soloist at the Theater Dortmund directly after her vocal studies (Detmold, Munich, Augsburg, various master classes, Theaterakademie August Everding). Guest engagements have taken her to the Oper Frankfurt, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Wiesbaden, Karlsruhe and Braunschweig State Theatres, the Landestheater Linz and the theatres of Augsburg, Kiel, Lübeck, Detmold and Münster. Her most important roles include Carmen, Cenerentola, Charlotte, Donna Elvira, Dorabella, Hänsel and Muse/Nicklausse.

In the 2022/23 season Vera Semieniuk can be heard at the Theater Heidelberg as Muse/Nicklausse in »Les Contes d’Hoffmann« as well as 2nd Elf/Kitchen Boy in »Rusalka«. Numerous sacred and secular concerts, including with the Münchner Rundfunkorchester and the WDR Rundfunkorchester, as well as recitals in Germany and abroad form another important aspect of her artistic activity. Her concert repertoire includes works by Bach (St. Matthew Passion, Christmas Oratorio, cantatas, etc.), Berlioz (»Les nuits d'été«), Brahms (songs), Crumb (»Apparition«), Dvořák (masses, songs and duets), Handel (»Messiah«), Haydn (masses), Mahler (orchestral songs), Mozart (Requiem, masses and concert arias), Schönberg (»Pierrot Lunaire«), Skweres (world premiere of »Anakalypteria«) and many more.
