Norwegian tenor Bror Magnus Tødenes is praised for his “agile tenor with an almost ideal bel canto sound” (Kulturvinden) and for performances that balance lyrical warmth, dramatic intensity, and effortless vocal technique. In Giovanna d’Arco at Malmö Opera, critics noted his ability to “navigate long and challenging passages without a trace of fatigue, while maintaining full vocal focus - even in physically demanding staging”.
In the 2026-27 season he makes his house debut at Deutsche Oper am Rhein as Alfredo La traviata and returns to Théâtre du Capitole Toulouse as Lancelot Le roi Arthus.
On the concert stage he appears in a gala concert with Stavanger Symfoniorkester and in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with Aarhus Symfoniorkester.
Recent engagements include his debuts at Oper im Steinbruch St. Margarethen and Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino as Cavaradossi Tosca, his debut at the Polish National Opera as Pinkerton Madama Butterfly, as well as Alfredo La traviata at the Polish National Opera, Royal Swedish Opera and Prague National Opera. His repertoire also includes Rodolfo La bohème at the Royal Swedish Opera and Norwegian National Opera, Ismaele Nabucco at the Wiener Staatsoper and Macduff Macbeth at the Opéra de Lyon.
Other highlights include Carlo Giovanna d’Arco at the Copenhagen Festival and Malmö Opera, the title role of La clemenza di Tito at Prague National Theatre under Marc Minkowski, and appearances at Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse as Edgardo Lucia di Lammermoor, Lensky Eugene Onegin, Macduff Macbeth and Tamino Die Zauberflöte.
A winner of both the First Prize and Audience Prize at the Renata Tebaldi International Voice Competition, Tødenes is also the youngest recipient of the Erling Kroghs Grant from the Norwegian National Opera. He trained in Trondheim and at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome, and is a former member of the Salzburg Festival Young Singers Project.
