Originally from Celle in Germany, he graduated from Juilliard and was a member of the Berlin Staatsoper through the 1990s.
He sang the title part in Parsifal in Bayreuth in 2004 and Tannhäuser the following year at La Scala.
He worked often and recorded with Nikolaus Hanoncourt and was a regular at Covent Garden.
TRIBUTE: Amazing laugh was his best opus.
UPDATE: In Bayreuth’s Parsifal I lost the love of my life.
