Daniel Behle (Tenor)
Born in Hamburg in 1974, Daniel Behle studied at the Hochschule fur Musik in his native city, and privately with his mother Renate (a celebrated dramatic soprano who was described by *Die Welt* as ‘a Wagner singer to rejoice over’). He made his name in light lyric and bel canto roles including Mozart’s Ferrando, Belmonte and Tamino (which he sings on René Jacobs’s multi-award-winning recording from 2010 on Harmonia Mundi), and Strauss’s Matteo (Arabella), Henry Morusus (Die schweigsame Frau) and Flamand (Capriccio). He has worked mainly in Germany, and first appeared at Covent Garden in 2016 in Così fan tutte (‘it is Daniel Behle’s Ferrando who scores most strongly with his introspective “Un’aura amorosa’ – The Telegraph).
