Bayreuth Talk: Bass Tobias Kehrer

Exploring the works in-depth with the artists performing in the Festival, we continue our series of Artists’ Talks in 2024. These performers will discuss their careers, the challenges and rewards of working at Bayreuth, and answer audience questions in an informal atmosphere.

On Wednesday, 21 August we welcome bass Tobias Kehrer, who will be performing Fafner in Das Rheingold and Siegfried and Titurel in Parsifal.

Tobias Kehrer, born in Dessau, started his musical education with private singing lessons and studied at the Universität der Künste in Berlin with Professor Siegfried Lorenz. He joined the Deutsche Oper Berlin as a company member in 2012 and developed roles in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Der fliegende Holländer, Don Giovanni, Die Zauberflöte, Jeanne d’Arc, Rienzi, Il barbiere di Siviglia, La Bohème, Rigoletto, and Elektra. He has appeared at the Bayreuth Festival since 2018 and engaged to sing the Nachtwächter in the new Meistersinger production in 2025.

This in-person-only event will take place at the Arvena Kongress Hotel in Bayreuth, Germany.

Tickets are $20 in advance online, 20 € cash or credit card at the door. Pre-purchase is recommended to expedite entry and seating.
