On January 25th, Ólafur Sigurdarson appears in the premiere of Korngold's Violanta at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Ólafur plays Simone Trovai, Captain of the Republic of Venice. Well-known for the strength of his dramatic baritone, Ólafur fit the 18-year-old prodigy's orchestration perfectly, with the authority and gravitas to portray the Captain of La Serenissima. Under the baton of Sir Donald Runnicles and the direction of David Hermann, this premiere is set up to be a significant listing in the Deutsche Oper's season.
