The tenor first garnered international attention in 2008 as Otello (Otello by Rossini) at the “Rossini in Wildbad“ Festival and as Tamino (Die Zauberflöte) at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.

His extensive repertoire, encompassing 83 roles in 78 different operas and documented on numerous CDs and DVDs, spans from Baroque works through Mozart to the 20th century. He has particularly distinguished himself as a Bel Canto specialist and in French opera roles.
