With a “shimmering velvet voice,” “Wagnerian power” (Ôlyrix), and a “radiant high register” (Das Opernglas), American tenor Christopher Sokolowski is rapidly gaining recognition for his electrifying stage presence and commanding vocal artistry in some of opera’s most challenging and iconic roles on the international stage.

Following his acclaimed debut as Lohengrin at Theater Bremen in September, he will perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 under the baton of Vladimir Jurowski with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin at the Konzerthaus Berlin. He will then portray Manolios in Martinů’s The Greek Passion at Staatsoper Hannover, directed by Barbora Horáková. This summer, he makes his debut at the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, taking on the complex role of Captain Vere in Britten’s Billy Budd in a new version commissioned by the Britten estate and directed by Ted Huffman.
