German-Swiss bass-baritone Christian Immler is a multifaceted artist whose career ranges widely across the worlds of opera, oratorio and lieder, “a technically, musically and stylistically consummate interpreter, with a strikingly masculine, truly grounded bass capable of tenoral splendour, exemplary diction and emotional urgency coupled with a deep intellectual textual understanding” (Klassik Heute). His operatic experience ranges from Monteverdi’s Seneca, Jupiter and Borée in Rameau’s Castor et Pollux and Les Boréades, the Commendatore in Don Giovanni, Speaker in Die Zauberflöte, Rocco in Beethoven’s Leonore, the Hermit in Weber’s Der Freischütz, Fasolt in Wagner’s Rheingold, the Musiklehrer in Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos to Unsuk Chin’s Alice in Wonderland. In concert, he has performed Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with the Minnesota, Cincinnati and Nashville Orchestras, Kindertotenlieder with Hungarian National Philharmonic, Mendelssohn’s Elias with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Zemlinsky’s Lyric Symphony with Orchestre National de France, Detlev Glanert's Prager Symphonie with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Czech Philharmonic and Leipzig Gewandhaus, Missa solemnis with the Montreal Symphony as well as the Requiems of Dvořák, Brahms, Mozart, Fauré and Verdi. Initially anchored in the baroque and early Classical repertoire, Christian’s artistry extended rapidly to also encompass 19th century orchestral traditions and contemporary works.
