Fritz Spengler
Born in Passau, the young countertenor Fritz Spengler began his musical training aged ten, as a boy soprano with his home town’s cathedral choir (Domsingschule), before becoming a countertenor once his voice had broken. From 2009 he studied singing at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, completing his studies with Kjellaug Tesaker with distinction in 2015.
He gained valuable stage experience in his debut as Prinz Orlofsky in Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus (2008) and in three productions at the Theater an der Rott in 2013, where he appeared as Amor in Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, the witch in Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel, and Prinz Paul in Jacques Offenbach’s Großherzogin von Gerolstein.
In addition to works by Claudio Monteverdi, Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Friedrich Händel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gioachino Rossini, and Benjamin Britten, he has a keen passion for the music of the 1920s and 30s. He was awarded two prizes at the Concorso Internationale Arte Musicale e Talento in Vicenza in 2010, and his busy concert schedule sees him perform at home and abroad on a regular basis. He has been a member of the ensemble at the Theater Trier since the 2015/2016 season.
