Friedrich Hamel will join the International Opera Studio at Berlin’s Staatsoper Unter den Linden from the 2022/23 season and will perform Zweiter Geharnischter in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, Zweiter Soldat in Strauss’ Salome, Reinmer von Zweter in Wagner’s Tannhäuser. In autumn 2022, the young bass will sing Dr. Cajus in Brandenburger Theater‘s new production of Nicolai’s Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor.
In April 2022, Friedrich Hamel should have made his debut at Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater Schwerin, singing 2. Bass and Kaiser von Mesopotanien in a new production of Zimmermann’s Der Schuhu und die fliegende Prinzessin, which was cancelled on short notice due to Covid-19. The German bass has sung Death in Ullmann’s Der Kaiser von Atlantis and Death in Holst’s Sāvitri in productions at the Hamburg University of Music. At the Hanover’s University of Music, Drama and Media, he has performed Truffaldin in Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos (Truffaldin) and the title role of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro in 2022.
As a concert soloist, Friedrich Hamel has sung Bach’s cantatas and is often casted in his St John Passion as well as St Matthew Passion. In addition, the German bass sings almost all representative repertoire in this field – from early to modern music.
A dedicated recitalist, Friedrich Hamel has sung selected lieder, as well as the cycles of Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte, Martin’s Six Monologues from Jedermann, Schubert’s Winterreise and Schumann’s Dichterliebe.
