About the artist Rene Pape

Born in Dresden in 1964, René Pape was a member of the city’s legendary Kreuzchor from 1974–81. In 1988, while still a student, he made his debut at the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden and was immediately engaged by the company. Since then on its stage he has sung most of the chief roles of his already illustrious career, the majority of them conducted by music director Daniel Barenboim. Pape is equally at home on the concert platform and has appeared with the world’s leading orchestras and renowned conductors in the major concert halls all over the globe. For his recordings, he has already received two Grammys®. “René Pape is certainly one of today’s towering figures in opera, literally and figuratively: the bass’s unbeatable combination of physical stature, charisma, intensity and voice is presented with an extraordinary level of artistic integrity. His musical and dramatic intentions are motivated by intelligence and commitment.”- Opera Now (London), November 2008
