Samuel YOUN, bass-baritone Bass-baritone Samuel Youn received his first vocal training in his hometown Seoul, and then completed his studies at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milan and at the Conservatory of Cologne. He started his singing carreer in 1999 at the Cologne Opera where he has established himself quickly as a leading dramatic bass baritone of his generation in roles like Amonasro (Aida), Tonio (Pagliacci), Kurwenal (Tristan), Gunter (Götterdämmerung), Kaspar (Freischütz), Pizzaro (Fidelio) and the title role in Wagner`s Flying Dutchman. Apart from his commitment at the Cologne Opera, he has also been invited on many international stages, among which the Theatre du Capitole de Toulouse, Teatro Real de Madrid, Bayreuth Festival, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Hamburg State Opera, Opéra de Paris, Scala di Milano, Teatro Massimo di Palermo, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Opéra du Nice, Teatro Sao Carlo in Lisbon and Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. In 2012 he had his international breakthrough singing the title role in the Flying Dutchman under the baton of Christian Thielemann at the Bayreuth Festival. He has been invited back for the 2013 to 2015 editions of the Festival to perform this role. He worked among others with conductors like Marc Albrecht, Pierre Boulez, Riccardo Chailly, Andris Nelsons, Zubin Mehta, Donald Runnicles Markus Stenz and Pinchas Steinberg. Future projects include his return for various productions to the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Bayreuth Festival, his debuts at the Theater an der Wien with Les Musiciens du Louvre Grenoble in Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra and Chicago Lyric Opera. .

Der Fliegende Holländer Festspielhaus Bayreuth, 31 Juli 2012
Een ondode op zoek naar zijn eigen vlees en bloed door Fabian Termorshuizen Der Fliegende Holländer Festspielhaus Bayreuth, 31 juli 2012 Dirigent: Christian Thielemann, Senta: Adrianne Pieczonka, Der Holländer: Samuel Youn, Erik: Michael König, Mary: Christa Mayer, Der Steuermann: Benjamin Bruns, Daland: Franz-Josef Selig Regie van Jan Philipp Gloger Een spookverhaal ‘aus der Ferne längst vergang’ner Zeiten’, maar in een uiterst modern jasje gegoten. In deze regie is de Holländer geen geest die uit de mist en de chaos van ‘Gewitter und Sturm’ tevoorschijn komt, maar een rusteloos gekwelde rijke zakenman, die geld om zich heen strooit maar nergens voldoening in vindt. In de grote monoloog verschijnen in het halfschemer drie vrouwengestalten: een serveerster, een ‘health professional’, en een prostituée. Deze gestalten tonen het vrouwelijke gezien vanuit het functionele nuttigheidsdenken, maar zonder ware trouw, zonder liefde, zonder de schenkende levenskracht. Die laatste kwaliteiten is hij kwijt. Verlangend naar de dood snijdt hij zichzelf, als een psychiatrische patiënt, maar er verschijnt geen bloed… Modern is deze regie zeker: de eerste scènes spelen zich af tegen de achtergrond van een kolossaal uitvergrote microchip. De digitale lijnen en cijfer displays lichten op in overeenstemming met de stormachtige eb- en vloed beweging van de muziek, een imposant stuk synesthesie. In den beginne was de Chaos… In een natuurlijk systeem als ‘Gewitter und Sturm’, maar ook in de door de mens zelf in het leven geroepen Molochs van computertechnologie en digitale snelwegen, waar het zoveelste cijfertje achter de komma bepalend is voor de uitkomst en waardoor alles en iedereen verbonden raken, van banken die onverwacht als dominostenen om kunnen vallen, van financiële markten die onvoorspelbaar op tilt raken, van instanties en politieke verhoudingen die op scherp staan.
