Congratulations to marvelous heldentenor ANDREAS SCHAGER for his triumphant return to the METROPOLITAN OPERA as TANNHÄUSER last Thursday!

Raving reviews:

“Schager is a true heldentenor, with power and stamina. He made his Met debut in 2019 as a fine Siegfried, and this night he sang with superb intonation and a shapeliness to his phrasing. The passion was there in his voice, his artistry ran the gamut from joy to despair.”
(Financial Times, Dec. 4, 2023)

“Andreas Schager proved a brilliant interpreter of the title role … Schager’s interpretation would bring – a booming voice full of bright and pointed high notes full of intensity, directness, confidence, and vibrancy … Schager dominated the stage every single time he was there. There aren’t many modern-day tenors, Wagnerian or not, who have the vocal power and poise that Schager does. Fewer still that can sustain that intensity for four hours … and sound just as fresh, if not more so, at the end of the night as they did at the beginning.”
(David Salazar, OperaWire, Dec. 1, 2023)

Andreas was surrounded by a splendid cast conducted by Donald Runnicles with Ekaterina Gubanova as Venus, Elza van den Heever as Elisabeth, Georg Zeppenfeld as Landgraf Hermann, and Christian Gerhaher as Wolfram in his MET debut.

Upcoming performances:
December 9, 12, 16, 19 and 23

Our Story

Silvana Sintow-Behrens was born into a musical family and grew up travelling the major cities of the classical music world. Following piano and singing lessons throughout her childhood she went on to study musicology and theatre arts. A graduate of the London Theatre School, she performed as an actress in London and Edinburgh for several years. Owing to the career of her mother, soprano Anna Tomowa-Sintow, she was immersed into the world of opera from a very early age on. She became fluent in seven languages and gathered extensive insights into the various facets of the music business.

She started her career as a public relations manager for BMG Classics/RCA in London, where she was soon in charge of illustrious artists such as Evgeny Kissin, Barry Douglas, James Galway and Yuri Temirkanov. The French recording label Erato Disques later appointed her Director of International Promotions and Artist Development in Paris. During this time, she became Daniel Barenboim's personal PR agent, a responsibility she then went on to carry out for Teldec Warner Classics in Berlin. She further handled the planning and coordination of Maestro Barenboim’s recording projects with the Chicago Symphony, the Berlin Philharmonic and the Staatskapelle Berlin. At the same time, she was in charge of attending renowned singers such as Placido Domingo, Cecilia Bartoli, Thomas Hampson, Ferruccio Furlanetto and others.

She further was active as personal assistant to Daniel Barenboim until the conclusion of his tenure at Teatro alla Scala Milan in 2014 and has worked with him on various projects in Berlin as well as for the West Eastern Divan Orchestra in Sevilla. In December of 2017 Silvana served as a member of the jury for the prestigious Maria Callas competition in Athens, held in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the passing of the legendary soprano.
