Download Biography
HAYDN RAWSTRON LIMITED Kammersänger EIKE WILM SCHULTE was surrounded by music from the beginning as both parents were passionate choral singers. The young Schulte began serious piano studies aged 7, before a singing career crystalized, a decade later. At the age of 17, Schulte made his preparatory studies for the Cologne Music Conservatorium in Schloss Morsbroich in Leverkusen and in the Salzburg Mozarteum. At the time, the entrance age for the Cologne Conservatorium was 21 and so he required special permission to enter the Conservatorium as a nineteen year old. His studies lasted 4 years, in the final year of which he was engaged by General Manager Grisha Barfuss for a beginner’s company contract with the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Düsseldorf’s renowned opera company. His first role in Düsseldorf was Sid in Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring. In the German system, a young singer’s ambition is however to achieve a ‘Fach’-contract, a contract Eike Wilm Schulte guaranteeing him a certain repertoire, with which he can develop his vocal potential. Schulte was offered Baritone such a contract two year later, with the opera company of the city of Bielefeld where, in the following three years, he was given the opportunity to perform almost all the principal roles of a lyric baritone’s standard repertoire, from Papageno to Germont. After a successful audition for the Hessen State Opera Company, he moved from Bielefeld to Wiesbaden where, under the guidance of Musical Directors, Heinz Wallberg and later Siegfried Köhler, he was able to expand his repertoire by a total of 75 additional roles. -

Biography EN
MAURO PETER … a dreamy song recital and a flawless, multi-faceted performance – thus Mauro Peter’s perfor- mance at the 2019 Salzburg Festival, according to the Salzburger Nachrichten. This expressive fascination has won him enthusiastic audiences since his spectacular debut at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg in 2012. Ever since, he has appeared on concert and opera stages everywhere in Europe. The Swiss tenor begins the 2020/21 season with a song recital at the internationally renowned Lucerne Festival. Mauro Peter’s opera season starts with his role debut as Nemorino in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore at the Zurich Opera House, where he has been an ensemble member since 2013, celebrating major success, most recently in Zender’s Winterreise and in the title role of Handel’s Belshazzar. Another highlight of the season is his December debut at the Teatro Real in Madrid, where he sings Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. He will also embody this role at the 2021 Mozart Week in Salzburg. Furthermore, Mauro Peter will perform Schubert’s cycle Schwanengesang for the first time at Vien- na’s Konzerthaus and at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg in June. In addition, he will make his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic under the baton of Kirill Petrenko, appearing in the orchestra’s Europe Day Concert in 2021. Mauro Peter has celebrated international operatic success performing Wolfgang Amadeus Mo- zart’s music. Roles such as Belmonte, Ferrando, Don Ottavio and Tamino have taken him to the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto, the Bavarian State Opera, the Opéra de Lyon, the Opéra national de Paris, the Royal Opera House in London, the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Theater an der Wien, the Zurich Opera House and the Salzburg Festival. -

Hofer Dr. Viktoria Moench Rainer & Burghilde Neumann Gisela Roer Dres. Angela & Hermann Sommer Zahlreiche Mitglieder des Richard Wagner Verband München e.V. Grußwort S.K.H. Herzog Franz von Bayern Der Richard Wagner Verband München kann im Jahr 2021 auf sein 150jähriges Bestehen zurückblicken. Als Schirmherr des Internationalen Richard Wagner Kongresses im Oktober 2021 möchte ich dem Verein zu seinem runden Jubiläum herzlich gratulieren. Über die Verbindung zwischen Richard Wagner und König Ludwig II. von Bayern ist bereits viel veröffentlicht worden. Zwischen beiden Persönlichkeiten bestand eine enge persönliche, aber auch von einer gemeinsamen schöpferischen Leidenschaft für die Kunst geprägte Be- ziehung. Richard Wagner war 1864 auf Einladung Ludwigs II. nach München gekommen. Nur sieben Jahre später wurde der Deutsche Allgemeine Richard-Wagner-Verein von Emil Heckei im pfälzischen Mannheim gegründet. Dieser Verein, der ein Vorläufer des heutigen Verbandes ist, hatte sich für die Verwirklichung des Bayreuther Festspielhauses eingesetzt, ebenso wie das Ludwig II. als Mäzen Richard Wagners tat. Ludwig II. ordnete in München Uraufführungen und Privataufführungen von Werken des Komponisten an. Dazu gehören die Uraufführung von „Tristan und lsolde“ im Jahr 1865 und der „Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ drei Jahre später. In diesem Sinne ist München eine Wagner-Stadt und so findet der Internationale Richard Wagner Kongress im Jahr 2021 hier statt. -
