Today I am full of excitement for my debut as the Prophet Jochanaan in Strauss’ “Salome” @staatsoperstuttgart - when I sang the First Soldier in the premiere of this production in 2015 I would have never dreamed that I would ever be performing this epic role… ToiToiToi to the wonderful and numerous cast: #SimoneSchneider #ChadShelton #SophieKoch @luis.hergon @moritz_kallenberg @lanamaletich @torstenhofmann4 @heinziege @leopold_tenor @josephtancredi @a.b.it.me @michaelnaglbassbariton @jacoboochoa @jasperleever @aleksmyrling @marius_aron_bossbaritone @salvatorielena @sophia_a_p_binder @staatsorchesterstuttgart and our fantastic conductor @tomas_hanus_conductor! @machreichartists 📸 @martin_sigmund

After a fantastic new production of “Der Freischütz” this summer on the lake @bregenzerfestspiele we open the season @staatsoperstuttgart with the legendary Achim Freyer staging from 1980.
This production has an important place in my heart, as the Hermit was one of my first roles in Stuttgart and I am full of joy that I can sing Kaspar this season.
ToiToiToi to all my great colleagues and lots of fun!

Die Spielzeit 2024/25 an der @staatsoperstuttgart

Die Spielzeit 2024/25 an der @staatsoperstuttgart ist voller wunderbarer Aufgaben für mich - und bringt zwei Rollendebüts, von denen ich vor einigen Jahren nicht zu träumen gewagt hätte 🤩 @machreichartists

I can’t wait to return to the @staatsoperberlin

I can’t wait to return to the @staatsoperberlin as Baron Ochs for next season’s run of Der Rosenkavalier! And what a wonderful cast it is - looking forward to sharing the stage with @diana.damrau @regulamuehlemann @romanrt @thee.dangelo @kissjudit.anna @johan.krogius @andresmnogarcia and so many other great colleagues 😍 @machreichartists

Yesterday was a very special concert for me: 15 ye

Yesterday was a very special concert for me: 15 years after my first encounter with the Schubertiade at a life changing masterclass with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and several ensemble concerts I had the great honour of bringing a solo recital to this prestigious stage. Amongst some of the most beautiful Schubert songs for bass we had Brahms’ Four Serious Songs in the programme. My personal highlight were Richard Strauss’ mesmerising Three songs on poems by Friedrich Rückert. The piano part is even more challenging than the singing part and I couldn’t be happier that I had the one and only @ammiel_pianist by my side 🤩 If you like you can listen to the concert at Ö1 radio on the 24th of May at 19:30.
