Peter Mattei

From Stockholm to Salzburg, and New York to Berlin, Swedish baritone Peter Mattei charms with his expressiveness and perfect diction. Renowned for his Mozart – in which he sings a dark Don Giovanni and a powerful Count Almaviva –, his beautifully deep, warm and velvety tones are equally enhancing the Germanic repertoire from New York (Wolfram in 2015 and Wozzeck in 2019 at the Metropolitan Opera) to Paris (Amfortas in 2019 at the Opéra national de Paris). In recent years, he’s been lending his linguistic prowess to the intimacy of lied and Schubert song cycles, notably recording a sweetly melancholic Winterreise for Bis Records in 2019. This season he finally makes his debut on the Grand Théâtre stage, partnering with German pianist Daniel Heide to lead us through Schubert’s final collection, the Schwanengesang. The Austrian composer’s whispered farewell, augmented by further choice lieder, will bring us over the space of an evening to the very edge of desire and solitude, carried by the elegance and profundity of an exceptional interpreter!
