There is nothing more precious for a singer at the start of his career than being entrusted with a leading role. An opportunity imperatively to be seized without hesitation, as only such experiences allow the artist to equally foster vocal maturity and stage competencies. We are therefore particularly looking forward to Damien Gastl's role debut as Count Almaviva (Le Nozze di Figaro) at the Nordhausen Theatre!
Opening night on 22 September 2023

He is singing there Mozart's Coronation-Mass as well as an early work by Beethoven, the Cantata on the death of Emperor Joseph II WoO 87. Subsequently he will proceed to Thuringia for his role-debut as Count Almaviva in a new production of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Nordhausen Theatre.
Opening night on September 22, 2023.

Damien Gastl’s second season with the opera-studio of the Opéra national du Rhin in Strasbourg is in full swing and the opera-production of the Christmas-season already casts its shadows before. However, which kind of magic will turn Damien into both a grandfather clock and a cat? Maurice Ravel and Colette are certainly having a finger in the pie!
Ravel’s and Colette’s L’enfant et les sortilèges, a new-production of the opera-studio of the Opéra national du Rhin, is opening at the Comédie de Colmar on December 15th. Further performances will follow in 2022 at the Théâtre de Hautepierre in Strasbourg and at the Filature in Mulhouse.
