STICKERT Uwe
The German tenor Uwe Stickert is frequently invited by German theaters such as the Komische Oper in Berlin, Aalto Theater in Essen, and Staatstheater in Nuremberg. Among his roles are Arnold (Guillaume Tell), Dorvil (La Scala di Seta), Rodrigo (Otello), and Count Almaviva (The Barber of Seville), as well as Titus, Tamino, Ferrando, Don Ottavio, and Belmonte.
He has also performed the roles of Ernesto, Fadinard (Capello di Paglia), and Oronte (Alcina). In concert, he sings both lieder and oratorios, including Bach's Passions (in Israel, Italy, China, Switzerland, and France). He has worked under the baton of conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Helmut Rilling, Iac van Steen, George Alexander Albrecht, and Christopher Hogwood.
In 2016, he performed the role of Raoul de Nangis (Les Huguenots) at the Opéra de Nice to great acclaim.
As his voice has evolved toward a more dramatic repertoire, he has recently performed Henri (Les Vêpres siciliennes) in Würzburg, Hüon (Oberon) in Graz, and Eginhard (Fierrabras) in Bern.
In 2020, he made his debut as Lohengrin in Erfurt.
Most recently, he achieved tremendous success portraying his first Peter Grimes at the Opéra d'Avignon.
"In a role where he follows in the footsteps of legendary performers like Jon Vickers and Ben Heppner, German tenor Uwe Stickert does not falter in his portrayal of a gruff and tormented man. His heroic tenor voice, unusually clear and bright for this character (in contrast to, for example, José Cura), works wonders, imparting a deeply human quality to his portrayal. Even in moments of violence, the sweetness of his tone retains its beauty, and it seems to darken only reluctantly. Finally, his constant courage is admirable, and he receives a well-deserved triumph at the curtain call." (Opera-Online)
"The title role of Peter Grimes is a rare case in opera history, as it has been approached by singers with very different vocal profiles. With a physique reminiscent of Jon Vickers in the past or Stuart Skelton today, German tenor Uwe Stickert, however, possesses a voice that recalls not Peter Pears, but rather Klaus Florian Vogt. In other words, a clear, youthful timbre that makes Grimes anything but a brute, despite his occasional violent outbursts toward his apprentice or even his fiancée. These bright colors shine brilliantly in 'Now the Great Bear and Pleiades' and transform the fisherman into a hallucinatory poet, a completely defensible option, as Britten and his librettist Montague Slater added layers of meaning to the character they found in George Crabbe's poem *The Borough*." (Wanderersite)
"On the soloist front, we are in for a treat, starting with the hallucinatory Grimes portrayed by tenor Uwe Stickert. In turn anxious, dreamy, and rarely violent, he portrays a poet more than a brute, and this interpretative choice only deepens the questioning opened up by the work of George Crabbe, adapted by librettist Montague Slater and glorified by Britten. It is a total success." (Première Loge)
"The title role goes to German tenor Uwe Stickert, whose defined impact, the clarity of his voice, and the ease of his often incisive projection mark a superb Grimes." (Anaclase)
