Do not miss the opportunity to experience one of Denmark's greatest international opera stars in a classical recital. Bass singer Stephen Milling is ready to enchant the intimate Børssal with a repertoire of opulent lieder and songs, with renowned pianist Ulrich Stærk at his side.
You do not have to be an opera connoisseur to have heard of the phenomenon of Stephen Milling. With his dark, powerful and rich bass voice, he has impressed the audience in prominent concert halls all over the world, from Vienna and London to Seattle and New York. After completing his vocal training at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, Milling joined the Royal Danish Theatre in 1994, where he immediately made a name for himself playing leading roles in works by Mozart, Verdi and Wagner. A few years later he made his international breakthrough at the iconic La Scala in Milan in the role of Rocco in Beethoven's 'Fidelio'.

 

Wagner in particular has become synonymous with Stephen Milling's career. The Danish star is considered one of the leading interpreters of the German composer's bass roles, including Gurnemanz in 'Parsifal' and Hagen in 'Götterdämmerung'. The latter has brought him critical acclaim from the Financial Times, among others, which has called Milling's performance "outstanding".

 

In Børssalen, Stephen Milling will present tailor-made repertoire, including Brahms, Wolf and Nielsen. Concert pianist Ulrich Stærk has been an internationally sought-after name for more than three decades - and has repeatedly shone in the Copenhagen Opera Festival programme.

Grib denne sjældne mulighed for at opleve en af Danmarks største internationale operastjerner i en klassisk recital. Bassanger Stephen Milling er parat til at tryllebinde den intime Børssal med et repertoire af overdådige lieder og sange med den anerkendte pianist Ulrich Stærk ved sin side.
Du behøver ikke være operakender for at have stødt på fænomenet Stephen Milling. Med sin mørke, kraftfulde og rige basstemme har han imponeret i prominente koncertsale over hele verden, fra Wien og London til Seattle og New York. Efter at han færdiggjorde sin sanguddannelse fra Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium, blev Milling i 1994 ansat på Det Kongelige Teater, hvor han øjeblikkeligt slog sit navn fast med hovedrollepartier i værker af Mozart, Verdi og Wagner. Han fik få år senere sit internationale gennembrud på ikoniske La Scala i Milano i rollen som Rocco i Beethovens ‘Fidelio’.

 

Især Wagner er blevet synonym med Stephen Millings karriere. Den danske stjerne anses som en af de førende fortolkere af den tyske komponists basroller, heriblandt Gurnemanz i ‘Parsifal’ og Hagen i ‘Götterdämmerung’. Sidstnævnte har bragt ham anmelderroser fra blandt andet Financial Times, der har kaldt Millings præstation for “enestående”.

 

I Børssalen vil Stephen Milling fremføre et skræddersyet repertoire, der blandt andet inkluderer Brahms, Wolf og Nielsen. Koncertpianist Ulrich Stærk har i over tre årtier været et internationalt efterspurgt navn – og har flere gange strålet i Copenhagen Opera Festival-programmet.
