When Adrian Eröd sings Sixtus Beckmesser, he finds exactly the right balance between tragedy and comedy. It’s vocally excellent, every punchline, every look, every gesture is spot on. He brilliantly designs the deviousness and weirdness of this character. It is precisely this interplay that brings us so close to this role.
Adrian Eröd is not only an audience’s favorite at his musical home, the Vienna State Opera, but above all convinces with his versatility. In the upcoming season he can be heard in roles such as Peter Besenbinder in Hänsel & Gretel, Jason in Aribert Reimann's Medea, Faninal in Rosenkavalier or Prospero in Thomas Ade's The Tempest.
In May, he sings the part of Beckmesser – which is tailor-made for him – once more under the direction of Christian Thielemann at the Semperoper Dresden! Be there and see for yourself!
