Opera
The sung repertoire comprises more than 40 roles of all styles, from G. Fr. Handel to contemporary composers like Peter Eötvös and Liza Lim. The main focus was first on lyric repertoire roles mostly by Mozart, Rossini and romantic composers. Today it's expanding into the Kavalier and lighter Helden-baritone repertoire (most recent: Achilles in Schoeck's Penthesilea). See also „wishlist“/outlook below.
