Acerca de

Endrik Wottrich was born in Celle in Lower Saxony and studied the violin and singing, the latter with Ingeborg Hallstein, completing his training at the Juilliard School in New York.

Daniel Barenboim invited the young tenor to sing at Berlin’s Staatsoper Unter den Linden in 1993, and since then Wottrich has been a frequent and much sought-after visitor to leading international festivals, opera houses and concert halls, including La Scala, Milan, where he has been heard as Tannhäuser, Berg’s Drum-Major, in Dialogues des Carmelites and as the tenor soloist in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and also at the Vienna State Opera, London’s Royal Opera, the National Theatre Munich, the DOB and the Bayreuth Festival.

Since 2005 Endrik Wottrich teaches at the Würzburg Academy of Music. He has also given several classes at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in St Petersburg. In the semifinal of the 1989 NEUE STIMMEN competition he sang Lensky’s aria, “Kuda, kuda vï udalilis”, from Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin.
