American tenor Bryan Register has garnered critical acclaim as “a Heldentenor who treats Wagner with the subtlety and tenderness of a Lieder singer, making the climaxes all the more powerful” (Opera Now). Renowned for his expressive vocal artistry, Register has graced the stages of many of the world’s most prestigious theaters, captivating audiences across Europe and beyond.
In the 2025/26 season, he will once again be heard in his signature role of Tristan (Tristan und Isolde): at the Korean National Opera in Seoul under Jaap van Zweden, in Bárbara Lluch’s production at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, and at the Ljubljana Winter Festival. At the Croatian National Opera in Zagreb, he will make his role debut as Tannhäuser under the baton of Srba Dinić, and at the Wagner Days at Müpa in Budapest, he will appear on stage as Siegmund (Die Walküre) under Adam Fischer. He will also take on the role of Roméo in Berlioz’s Roméo et Juliette with the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra under Dimitry Slobodeniouk.
