Cast Change Choral Concert II - Elias

Baritone Michael Nagy studied singing, song interpretation and conducting in Mannheim and Saarbrücken. He was a member of the ensembles of the Komische Oper Berlin and the Frankfurt Opera. Guest appearances have taken him to the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Vienna State Opera, the Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Zurich Opera House, the Opéra national du Capitole in Toulouse, Den Norske Opera in Oslo, New York's Carnegie Hall and the festivals in Salzburg, Bayreuth and Baden-Baden.

His repertoire includes roles such as Papageno (»Die Zauberflöte«), Count Almaviva (»Le nozze di Figaro«), Wolfram von Eschenbach (»Tannhäuser«), Kurwenal (»Tristan und Isolde«), Don Alfonso (»Così fan tutte«), Jeletzki (»Pique Dame«), Valentin (»Faust«), Frank/Fritz (»Die tote Stadt«) and Jason in Aribert Reimann's »Medea« as well as the title roles in »Don Giovanni« and »Owen Wingrave’. At the Bavarian State Opera, he sang Amfortas (»Parsifal«), Ratefreund (»Die Vögel«), Der Graf (»Capriccio«) and the title role in »Eugen Onegin«, among others.

In the concert repertoire, well-tried repertoire such as the Brahms Requiem is mixed with performances of the unknown oratorio »Prophecy and Fulfilment«. Song recitals with Gerold Huber or Malcolm Martineau are also central to Nagy’s career.
