Philip Mayer
bass-baritone
The bass-baritone from Austria has been engaged at the Staatstheater Cottbus since autumn 2021 and will sing the roles Figaro in Le Nozze di Figaro and Daland in The Flying Dutchman, among others. In the 2020/2021 season, his Kezal in The Bartered Bride and Bartolo in Barbiere di Siviglia were celebrated by audiences and critics.
Solo engagements took place at the Deutsche Oper Berlin (Invisible Fronts, R. Krampe), in the Berlin Philharmonic with the Berlin Philharmonic (The Telephone, Gian Carlo Menotti) and at the Berlin State Opera (A Monteverdi Project under Saar Magal).
From 2017 to 2019, the Staatstheater Wiesbaden engaged Philipp Mayer for five guest engagements, including Zuniga in Carmen.
He is a two-time winner of the Schloss Rheinsberg Chamber Opera and made his debut at the Bad Orb Opera Academy festival as Kaspar in Der Freischütz.
He has already appeared as a concert singer in the Berlin Cathedral and the Konzerthaus Berlin and recently sang his first Mozart Requiem under Erwin Ortner.
Song recitals, the founding of the vocal ensemble “Walhalla zum Seidlwirt”, training in contemporary dance and the direction of two festivals (until 2015) reflect the singer’s diverse interests.
