Tilman Lichdi, tenor...

b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up June 2012 Tilman Lichdi has established himself as one of the most distinguished interpreters of Bach’s oratorios and of the Lied repertoire. He has made his mark especially as Evangelist and upon his debut with the Chicago Symphony in 2010, a Chicago reviewer wrote: "One can go a lifetime without hearing the Evangelist sung as well as by Tilman Lichdi, and I’m not forgetting Peter Schreier." Lichdi has given concerts across Europe, the US and South America and performed under such conductors as Kent Nagano, Christoph Perick, Bernard Labadie, Ton Koopman, Martin Haselböck, Christoph Poppen, Klaus Peter Flor and Michail Pletnev, to name a few. In 2011/12 Tilman Lichdi was in his seventh season at the Staatstheater Nürnberg, where he sang David (Die Meistersinger), Steuermann (Flying Dutchman), Tamino (Magic Flute), Ferrando (Così fan tutte) and Tonio (Daughter of the Regiment). He also performed the Speaker in the oratorio Nicholas Gross by S.Heucke, premiered under the baton of Graham Jackson, as well as Bach's B Minor Mass in Vienna's Musikverein with the Vienna Academy under the direction of Martin Haselböck. In the second part of the season followed an extensive U.S. tour with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Ton Koopman, recordings of works by Telemann and Buxtehude, also conducted by Ton Koopman, the St. John Passion in Madrid and his debut with the SWR Orchestra of Stuttgart. The 2010/11 season brought his debut with the New York Philharmonic in Handel’s Messiah, as well as a Mozart Requiem with the Colorado Symphony and concerts with the ABC Melbourne Symphony. Together with Ton Koopman he toured Europe again, this time with Mozart’s Requiem and the Bach’s St. John Passion. A staged version of Handel’s Messiah at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris under Martin Haselböck rounded out the season. Lichdi’s 2009/10 American highlights included his Chicago Symphony debut with the St. John Passion under the baton of Bernard Labadie, a work he repeated later with Musica Angelica under Martin Haselböck, and a return to the Charlotte Symphony with Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. He also recorded Boulevard Solitude by Henze under the auspices of the Ruhr Festival in Germany, followed by a tour through Asia with Schumann’s Dichterliebe and a concert version of Mozart’s The Abduction from the Seraglio with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under Labadie with concerts in Toulouse, Valencia and the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. During the 2008/09 season Lichdi was heard as Belmonte in Mozart's Die Entührung aus dem Serail, and as Arturo in Bellini's I Puritani. Guest performances to the Châtelet with Monteverdis Vespers (1610) and a tour with Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Barock orchestra across Italy and Spain (Bach’s St. Matthew's Passion) followed. Previously he performed with the Charlotte Symphony, where he performed Haydn's Creation with Christoph Perick, and in Brazil performing Bach's St. Matthew's Passion with Kent Nagano. Guest performances led him to the operas of Würzburg, Heidelberg, the Munich Biennale, Flensburg, Kaiserslautern and Mannheim. Since season 2005/06 Tilman Lichdi is engaged with a fest contract at the State Theater of Nürnberg under principal conductor Christoph Perick. So far he has sung at the house the parts of Mozart's Tamino (Magic Flute), Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni) Count Belfiore (La finta giardiniera), Ferrando (Così fan tutte) and also the part of Count Almaviva (in Rossini`s Barbiere). Tilman Lichdi grew up near Heilbronn, Germany, and started his first singing lessons at the age of 18 with Alois Treml (State Theater of Stuttgart). In spite of that, he first studied the trumpet for four years in Mannheim with Prof. Günther Beetz and switched to voice studies with Prof. Charlotte Lehmann (who also taught Thomas Quastoff) in 1999 in Würzburg where he graduated with distinction. b i o....r e p e r t o i r e....r e s u m e back to roster...up . click here to read Tilman Lichdi's resume (MS Word) . . .
