Philipp Mathmann

Philipp Mathmann is currently one of the most sought-after countertenors in the world. In his still young career, he has taken on numerous leading roles in highly acclaimed productions such as Anastasio in Giustino (Handel), Abel in Il primo omicidio (Scarlatti), Mirtillo in Il pastor fido, and La Bellezza in Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (Handel). These productions garnered nationwide attention and were nominated for prestigious awards. His opera engagements have taken him to Teatro Real Madrid, Aalto-Theater Essen, Theater an der Wien, Stanislavski Theatre Moscow, Bayreuth, and many other renowned music festivals. He does not limit himself to the Baroque repertoire. In the 2021/22 season, he sang the role of the Angel in the world premiere of Thorsten Rasch's Die andere Frau at the Semperoper Dresden, the role of the Scorpion Man in Jörg Widmann's opera Babylon at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden, and the role of Dr. Dürer in Georg Friedrich Haas's Thomas at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden. His first CD (La deposizione della croce di Gesù Cristo by Franz Xaver Richter) was released in 2017 and was followed in 2020 by his first solo CD Tormenti d'Amore.
