Ain Anger
Estonian bass Ain Anger is a regular presence on the world’s most celebrated operatic and concert stages, and was honoured as Kammersänger by the Austrian government in 2020. Since his 2004 house debut at the Wiener Staatsoper as Monterone (Rigoletto), Anger has sung more than 40 roles on that same stage. Recent highlights include his return to both the Teatro alla Scala as Fiesco (Simon Boccanegra), and the Bayerische Staatsoper as Landgraf (Tannhäuser) and Daland (Der fliegende Holländer). Ranked among today’s finest Wagnerian basses, Ain Anger made his Bayreuth Festival debut as Fafner in Das Rheingold and Siegfried under Christian Thielemann.
