The name Klaus Florian Vogt (*1970) is certainly known to all Wagnerians, as the tenor is one of the Wagner specialists of our time. In the dramatic roles of "Lohengrin," "Parsifal" or "Tannhäuser," he has caused quite a stir to this day. These and other Wagner roles have brought him to the great stages of our time, from the Vienna State Opera to the New York Met. Since 2007, Vogt has appeared almost continuously at the Bayreuth Festival, and in the new production of the "Ring" (originally planned for 2020) he will take on the role of Siegmund.The repertoire of the native North German is, however, much more complex and, in addition to Wagner, includes, for example, the role of Florestan in Beethoven’s only opera "Fidelio" or that of Paul in Korngold’s "Die tote Stadt." Vogt, who was awarded the ECHO-Klassik prize as Artist of the Year (2012), has also enjoyed international success in lied and chamber music. Most recently, the singer can be heard in the CD recording of the Beethoven symphonies by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen under Parvo Järvi as soloist alongside Christiane Oelze, Maria Lang and Matthias Goerne in the 9th symphony - incidentally, he also took on this role for the 2021 New Year’s Concert of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
