Wolf Latzel (Baritone)

Born: Riesa, Saxony, Germany

The German baritone, Wolf H. Latzel, firstly enrolled in history and philosophy but soon discovered that his interest for music was considerably larger than for humanities. Therefore he started studying singing at the Robert Schumann Conservatorium in Düsseldorf under the Kammersänger Professor Peter-Christoph Runge with whom he remained until the completion of his studies. Master-classes including ones with Brigitte Fassbaender, Sylvia Geszty, Ursula Füri and Krisztina Láki complemented his studies.

Wolf Latzel's first engagements took him to the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf, Bühnen Wuppertal, Allee-Theater in Hamburg, Theater Dortmund, Theater Orchester Biel Solothurn / Théâtre Orchestre Bienne Soleure (since 2014) and to the Festival Theater in Baden-Baden. His wide range of roles encompasses W.A. Mozart’s Papageno in Die Zauberflöte, Count Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro, Leporello in Don Giovanni; Falke in Die Fledermaus, Danilo in The Merry Widow, Pluto in Orpheus in the Underworld, Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky, Faust by Rihm, Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady and Kurwenal in Tristan und Isolde.

In addition to his commitments to stage productions he has also worked extensively as a concert singer singing not only cantatas and masses but also oratorios including Haydn’s The Creation, Felix Mendelssohn's Elijah and George Frideric Handel's Messiah. He is equally at home with contemporary music having performed several world premières. He currently lives in Bern, Switzerland
