Valdemar Villadsen in Concert

A concert in Berlin with operatic arias by Bellini and Rossini, featuring the exciting new bel canto tenor Valdemar Villadsen. 

Villadsen will be accompanied by Andreas Lisius and the Open Air Opera Orchestra.

Danish tenor Valdemar Villadsen has appeared in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Berliner Philharmonie, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Royal Danish Opera, Wiesbaden State Opera, Kiel Opera House, Teatro Principal de Burgos, Rossini Festival, Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci, Festival de Música Antigua, Bergen International Festival, Copenhagen Opera Festival and Internationale Maifestspiele Wiesbaden. He has performed acclaimed solo recitals in Paris, Rome, Istanbul, Berlin and Basel.

For large parts of his career, Villadsen has been focusing mostly on baroque music. But in recent years he has caused a sensation within the bel canto repertoire. And last year, he appeared as Gualtiero in Open Air Opera Berlin's production of Bellini's opera Il pirata. Frankfurter Allgemeine has called Villadsen "a masterful tenor", and Opernwelt wrote "he reaches the many high notes with magnificent effortlessness". 

In this concert at the Open Air Opera, he will sing operatic bel canto arias by Rossini and Bellini.
