The new season started more than successfully for me. In September I was honoured with the annual award of Musiktheater Gelsenkirchen, sponsored by Sparkasse. I’m really proud to bring this prize into my collection, together with the friendship of all the beautifull people and colleagues of this town and my “home” theatre.
The season opening was followed by the premiere of Rossini’s “Guillaume Tell”, produced by Andreas Baesler, under the guidance of Samuel Bächli. I think, it was interesting to disclose a new extreme character in the face of the evil Gesler.

The last performance of “Attila” on the the stage of Musiktheater im Revier-Gelsenkirchen on 17th of April is behind of me…. But I hope to go forward with this role and the first step will be this weekend, on the 22-24th of April in “Grosser Saal der Glocke”, Bremen with “Musica Viva” and Nicolas Hrudnik.

The last professional experience for me was the guest-performance in Opera Ireland, Dublin. It was the first visit to this country for me and a possibility to make new frendships and contacts.
As we know, the legendary pubs and the beautiful nature are a trade mark for Ireland, but I had no much time to enjoy them….. Perhaps, just this time!
I was really impressed by the staff of Opera Ireland. In a period of time of just 5 weeks they realised 3 productions: “Die Zauberfl?te” by Mozart, “A Florentine Tragedy” by Zemlinsky and “Gianni Schicchi” by Puccini. Special thanks to Mr. Dieter Kaegi for making possible this project!
