Falk Struckmann
Bass baritoneFalk
Struckmann, one of the world's leading bass-baritones of our time, has now also
devoted himself to the bass repertoire and has already enjoyed international
success here as well, most recently with his role debut as the Doctor in
Wozzeck at the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse. He sang this role with
comparable success at the Opéra de Paris, where he also distinguished himself
as Klingsor in Parsifal. His performances as Pizarro in concert performances of
Fidelio at the Gstaad Festival and at the Grafenegg Festival under the baton of
Jaap van Zweden became a personal triumph. Parts such as Pizarro, Rocco,
Klingsor, Alberich, Hagen, Hunding or Fafner will continue to be the focus of
his singing activities in the future.
