Prof. Hanno Müller-Brachmann

Bass-baritone Hanno Müller-Brachmann, who grew up in South Baden and received his early musical training in the Basel Boys’ Choir, studied with Ingeborg Most in Freiburg, Rudolf Piernay in Mannheim and attended Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau’s lied class in Berlin.

While still a student, Daniel Barenboim brought the 27-year-old three-time competition winner to the Berlin State Opera “Unter den Linden”, where he was a member of the ensemble for 13 years. Here, Hanno Müller-Brachmann sang the great Mozart roles of his repertoire, as well as Kaspar (Der Freischütz), Amfortas (Parsifal), Escamillo (Carmen), Banquo (Macbeth), Goulaud (Pelléas et Mélisande) and the Count (Der ferne Klang) and in the world premieres of Elliott Carter’s “What next?” and Pascal Dusapin’s “Faustus, the last night”. In addition to Daniel Barenboim, other important partners for him on the podium in Berlin have included Michael Gielen, René Jacobs, Sebastian Weigle, Gustavo Dudamel, Pierre Boulez, Sir Simon Rattle and Philippe Jordan.

Guest appearances have also taken Hanno Müller-Brachmann to the state operas in Hamburg, Vienna and Munich, to the “Theater an der Wien” and to San Francisco. The recording of Mozart’s “Die Zauberflöte” in Modena under Claudio Abbado with Hanno Müller-Brachmann in the role of Papageno was released by Deutsche Grammophon and was honoured with a “Gramophone Award” as the opera recording of the year. In Cleveland, he sang Goulaud and the Music Teacher in “Ariadne auf Naxos” under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst. He has been influenced by Harry Kupfer, Ruth Berghaus, Peter Mussbach, Martin Kusej, Doris Dörrie, Keith Warner and Peter Sellars.
