Since then, his career was launched internationally, making debuts in one major opera house after another.
With Don Giovanni and Leporello in Mozart’s DON GIOVANNI, Schrott has celebrated successes internationally. His interpretation of the roles have become a reference in the Mozartian repertoire.

In 2013, he debuted the role of Procida in LES VÊPRES SICILIENNES at Covent Garden, repeating the role later in Copenhagen in 2015 and in a new production of the Bayerische Staatsoper in 2018.
Highlights of past seasons include appearances in LA GIOCONDA at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, AIDA at the Salzburg Festival and Berlin, L'ELISIR D'AMORE in Orange, MACBETH in Barcelona, L'ELISIR D'AMORE and CARMEN in Vienna, Munich and Verona, IL TURCO IN ITALIA, TOSCA, and LES CONTES D'HOFFMANN in Hamburg. He returns to the Vienna State Opera for TOSCA and I VESPRI SICILIANI and in Barcelona with LA CENERENTOLA.
Highlights for the 24/25 season are Lucrezia Borgia, Don Carlo and I Masnadieri at Bayerische Staatsoper, Il Barbiere di Siviglia in Vienna, Damnation de Faust in Liege.
He recorded 2 Sony Classical albums: his solo album Arias and the album Rojotango, awarded with the ECHO Classic Award in 2012. Besides his profession onstage, Erwin Schrott dedicates himself to various charity organisations who offer help and support to children in need.
