Eric Cutler returns this fall to the role of Siegmund in Wagner’s Die Walküre at the Staatsoper Berlin. The two performances take place on September 28 and October 7, and bring together a stellar cast which includes Vida Miknevičiūtė as Sieglinde, Mika Kares as Hunding, Michael Volle as Wotan, Anja Kampe as Brünnhilde, Claudia Mahnke as Fricka and Clara Nadeshdin as Gerhilde.
Christian Thielemann will be at the musical helm, and the production will be staged by Dmitri Tcherniakov.

He will also star in Berg’s Wozzeck in Munich’s Isarphilharmonie, for three concert performances on October 2, 3 and 5. With Eric Cutler as the Drum Major, the cast is completed by Christian Gerhaher as Wozzeck, Malin Byström as Marie, Brindley Sherratt as the Doctor, Nicky Spence as the Captain and the Madman, Edgaras Montvidas as Andres and Rinat Shaham as Margret. Sir Simon Rattle conducts.

The performances take place on April 21 and 25, May 2, 6, 9, 17, 21, and 29, and June 1.

On January 21 and 25 and February 2, 8, and 15, Eric Cutler returns to Opernhaus Zürich as Florestan in Beethoven’s triumphant Fidelio. Cutler has previously performed the role to great international acclaim, appearing at the Royal Ballet and Opera, Dutch National Opera & Ballet, Philharmonie de Paris, MusikTheater an der Wien, Staatsoper Hamburg, and Staatsoper Stuttgart.

Dominic Lowe of Bachtrack praised his recent performance at the Royal Ballet and Opera, saying, “Eric Cutler sang Florestan with a solid, forceful tenor, the Gott in ‘Gott! Welch Dunkel hier!’ a howl of agony. Cutler’s performance was at times almost animalistic; chained, crawling and beating his chest, he veered from defeat to defiance.”

Cutler joins Andreas Homoki’s production alongside an accomplished cast, including Jennifer Holloway as Leonore/Fidelio, Christof Fischesser as Rocco, Simon Neal as Don Pizarro, and Ziyi Dai as Marzelline. Krzysztof Urbański conducts.
