The internationally sought-after tenor Marco Jentzsch is back at Oper Frankfurt, where he made his debut in 2023/24 singing the title role in a new Tannhäuser, to sing Tristan in Tristan und Isolde. He recently thrilled audiences with roles including Florestan (Fidelio) at the Staatsoper Berlin, Parsifal at the Staatsoper in Hannover and Siegmund (Die Walküre) at the Staatstheater in Wiesbaden. Wagner roles in recent seasons included Tristan and Lohengrin at the Staatstheater in Wiesbaden, Stolzing (Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg) at Cologne Opera, the Komische Oper Berlin and Glyndebourne and Loge & Siegmund at the Tirol Festival in Erl and the Konzert Theater Bern. He also sang Tannhäuser at the Müpa in Budapest and Eisenach Wartburg, where he returns in 2026. His repertoire includes Froh (Rheingold), which he sang at La Scala Milan under Daniel Barenboim and the Staatsoper in Berlin, and Erik (The Flying Dutchman) at places including Zurich Opera. Other engagements have taken this artist to theatres including De Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam, the Hamburg State Opera, Semperoper in Dresden, Oper Leipzig, Theater Basel, the Landestheater in Linz and Tel Aviv (under Zubin Mehta). Other important roles have included Max (Der Freischütz), Peter Grimes, Drum Major (Wozzeck), Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann) and Bacchus (Ariadne auf Naxos), which he sings later this season at the Staatsoper in Berlin. He has also appeared in operetta singing roles including Camille de Rossillon (The Merry Widow), Graf Tassilo (Gräfin Mariza) and Prinz Sou-Chong (The Land of Smiles).
