Hanno Müller-Brachmann

Hanno Müller-Brachmann was trained by Ingeborg Most in Freiburg and Rudolf Piernay in

Mannheim, and attended the Lied class of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in Berlin. His successes

at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich and Neue Stimmen in Gütersloh led

Hanno Müller-Brachmann early on to the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden, where Daniel

Barenboim engaged him while he was still a student. Here, he sang his central roles for 13

years. This was followed by guest performances at the state operas in Hamburg, Munich,

and Vienna, as well as at La Scala in Milan.

The artist is also very active in the concert field. Among others, he has had great successes

in performances under the baton of Adam Fischer, Daniel Harding, Gianandrea Noseda,

Andris Nelsons, Vladimir Jurowski, Kirill Petrenko, Sir Simon Rattle, and Bernard Haitink. In

the current season, he can be heard in Mendelssohn's Walpurgis Night in Madrid under the

baton of Andrés Orozco-Estrada, in Beethoven's Missa Solemnis at La Scala in Milan under

the baton of Tugan Sokhiev, and as Fafner in Wagner's Siegfried under the baton of Kent

Nagano in Prague, Paris, Cologne, and Lucerne, among other locations.

In addition to his singing career, the bass-baritone now teaches as a professor of singing at

the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, serves as a juror for international competitions, and is

chairman of Cantus Juvenum Karlsruhe e.V., a boys' and girls' choir that provides individual

training to approximately 200 children and young people.
