Making his debut on the greatest opera stages of our time already during the early years of his successful career, which now spans over 25 years, the charismatic Welshman Sir Bryn Terfel has won over audiences and critics alike time and time again. Since then, Terfel has shone in his vocal range of bass-baritone in the title roles of ´Falstaff´, ´Le nozze di Figaro´, ´Don Giovanni´, ´Gianni Schicchi´ or ´Der fliegende Hollaender´, among others, as well as in the roles of Jochanaan (R. Strauss, ´Salome´), Baron Scarpia (G. Puccini, ´Tosca´) and Wotan (R. Wagner, ´Die Walkuere´). Terfel’s professional career has included appearances at the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala in Milan, the Paris Opera, the Salzburg Festival, the Bavarian State Opera, the Vienna State Opera and the Lucerne Festival, to name just a few of the frequently recurring stops.
The opera singer is under contract with Deutsche Grammophon and has released several highly popular recordings. In addition to classical opera aria repertoire, these include folkloristic songs from his homeland as well as Christmas carols. Sir Bryn Terfel has received many international awards and was knighted in 2017 for his services to music.
