In the 2023/24 season, Andreas Schager returned to the Berlin and Vienna State Opera before singing a series of performances of Tannhäuser at the Metropolitan Opera New York. He also made his debut as Otello at the Wiesbaden State Theatre, a role he later also sang at the Vienna State Opera. His season ended with the Bayreuth Festival 2024, where he sang the title role in a new production of ‘Tristan und Isolde’.

At the behest of Richard Wagner...

After his outstanding success as Siegmund and with both Siegfrieds in the Vienna Ring, the summer is reserved for Bayreuth, where he will once again appear with conductor Pablo Heras-Casado from 30.07.2025 - this time as Parsifal, and from 03.08.2025 as Tristan under the musical direction of Semyon Bychkov. Richard Strauss is not to be missed either, which is why he will also be back in Munich on 19 July 2025 and 22 July 2025 at the Bavarian State Opera as Midas in "Liebe der Danae".

Vienna finale: Siegfried vs. Hagen

Exciting! Andreas Schager as Siegfried and Samuel Youn as Hagen will now also meet in the second and final performance of this year's Vienna Ring on June 28, 2025, following their appearance on June 15. It promises to be a grand evening under the baton of Philippe Jordan.

Andreas Schager - appointed Austrian Kammersänger

Following a celebrated performance of Wagner's Die Walküre at the Vienna State Opera, Austrian heroic tenor Andreas Schager was awarded the honorary title of ‘Kammersänger’ by Bogdan Roščić, Director of the Vienna State Opera, and Theresia Niedermüller, Head of the Arts and Culture Section at the BMWKMS. Andreas Schager was highlighted as an exceptional talent in the opera world and has been internationally praised for his interpretations of major tenor roles, particularly in works by Richard Wagner.
In his speech, Andreas Schager emphasised how much it means to him, as a native Austrian, to receive this award in a country that values culture so highly.

Full house for the festive season - Parsifal at the Staatsoper

Tcherniakov's Parsifal is once again on the programme at this year's Staatsoper Unter den Linden festivities - this time 4 BOM artists are taking part, which we are delighted about.
Under the direction of Philippe Jordan, Andreas Schager and Tómas Tómasson will be on stage from April 12th as Parsifal and Klingsor - both of whom already appeared in the premiere cast in 2015 with sensational success. They are joined by Johan Krogius as the First Knight of the Grail and Sonja Herranen as the Flower Maiden. Audiences have already been able to experience them in major roles this season, including Tamino and Agathe.

All performance dates: 12/15/18/20 April 2025
