About.
Praised for his exciting dramatic persona, innate musicality, impressive range and eclectic repertoire, Austrian baritone Daniel Schmutzhard is recognised as one of the most interesting and individual artists of his generation.
Acclaimed for portrayals of characters as diverse as Corpo in de’ Cavalieri’s Rappresentatione di Anima, et di Corpo (Robert Carsen/Giovanni Antonini – Theater an der Wien), as Alberich in Wagner’s Das Rheingold (Kent Nagano – Kölner Philharmonie, Het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam) and as the charismatic title role of Weinberger’s Schwanda, der Dudelsackpfeifer (Andreas Homoki/Ainārs Rubiķis– Komische Oper Berlin), this exceptional singing actor leaves an impression in every role he embodies.
In the current season, Daniel Schmutzhard joins the cast of Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri (Christof Loy/Giedrė Šlekytė – Theater an der Wien), appears as Alberich in Wagner’s Siegfried (Kent Nagano – Prague State Opera, Kölner Philharmonie, Philharmonie de Paris, Dresdner Musikfestspiele) and returns to Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (Wolfgang Doerner – Philharmonie de Paris).
Highlights of Schmutzhard’s 2023/24 season included his role debut as Gunther in Andreas Homoki’s new production of Götterdämmerung at Opernhaus Zurich conducted by Music Director Gianandrea Noseda, Chaim in Rudi Stephan’s Die ersten Menschen, directed by Calixto Bieito and conducted by Robert Trevino at Teatro Arriaga Bilbao, and a return to Staatsoper Hamburg as both Fritz and Frank in Korngold’s Die tote Stadt under Yoel Gamzou. On the concert stage, he sang Fauré, Requiem with Orquesta Sinfonica del Principado de Asturias and Nuno Coelho and Orff, Carmina Burana with ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra at Wiener Konzerthaus with Tobias Wögerer.
Daniel Schmutzhard hat sich in den letzten Jahren nicht nur ein umfangreiches Repertoire im Opern- und Konzertbereich erarbeitet, er hat sich auch durch seine herausragenden Leistungen - wie z.B. als Corpo in der von Robert Carsen inszenierten Rappresentatione di Anima et di Corpo am Theater an der Wien, als Alberich in seinem enthusiastisch gefeierten Rollendebüt im konzertanten Rheingold unter Kent Nagano in Köln und Amsterdam oder als charismatischer Schwanda in der Neuproduktion Schwanda, der Dudelsackpfeifer in Berlin - nachdrücklich positioniert und als einer der interessantesten Vertreter seines Fachs empfohlen.Für die Saison 2022/23 hat sich die Volksoper Wien die umfangreiche Präsenz des Künstlers gesichert und präsentiert ihn u.a. als Robert in Jolanthe (De Beer/Meir Wellber), Eisenstein (Fledermaus), Danilo (Lustige Witwe) und Papageno (Zauberflöte) sowie als Herr Fluth in der Neuproduktion der Lustigen Weiber von Windsor. Konzertant ist er u.a. mit dem Orchestre National de Lille unter Stefan Blunier bei einer Gala-Tournee mit Annette Dasch in Frankreich sowie mit dem Orchestre de la Suisse Romande unter Jonathan Nott in Beethovens Symphonie Nr. 9 zu hören.
