The 1984 Frankfurt-born singer received his musical education with the Limburg Cathedral Choir and at the Conservatory of Freiburg. The young tenor has received a lot of attention particularly for his interpretations of J.S. Bach’s Evangelist roles.
Among his numerous acclaimed appearances in the course of the 2015/2016 season, Julian Prégardien’s rendition of Hylas in ›Les Troyens‹ (Berlioz) caused a sensation at the opening night of the Hamburg Staatsoper under the baton of Kent Nagano. In July 2017, the young tenor will give his debut performance at Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich in the title role of Carl Maria von Weber’s Oberon.
Concert appearances during the 2016/17 season will include concerts with Bach’s St Matthew Passion with René Jacobs, Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass with András Schiff and Handel arias with Berlin’s Akademie für Alte Musik. He will return to the Salzburger Festspiele with Ádám Fischer.
At Dresden Musikfestspiele and other venues, Julian is scheduled to appear in a special Monteverdi project along with his father Christoph Prégardien and Anima Eterna Brugge conducted by Jos van Immerseel.
Julian Prégardien is also one of the renowned soloists featured in a major project co-hosted by the Schubertiade in Hohenems/Schwarzenberg (Austria) and by London Wigmore Hall, consisting in the complete performance of all Schubert lieder in a series of recitals held between 2015 and 2017.
