Franz-Josef Selig, with his sonorous bass voice, is one of the best loved and known representatives of his fach, much in demand for his wonderful portrayals of characters including Gurnemanz, King Marke, Sarastro, Rocco, Osmin and Fiesco which he performs regularly at places including the Salzburg, Bayreuth and Aix-en-Provence festivals, the Bavarian and Vienna state operas, La Scala Milan and Metropolitan Opera in New York, working with conductors such as Christian Thielemann, Sir Simon Rattle and Zubin Mehta. Now he's back at Oper Frankfurt, where he sang Gurnemanz in Wagner's Parsifal in 2019, to give his second recital here with Gerold Huber (the first was in 2014). We look forward to welcoming these two exceptional musicians back to the house!
