Samuel Hasselhorn, born in Göttingen in 1990, is now one of the most influential performers in his field. After studying in Hanover and Paris and winning major prizes – most notably the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2018 – he has established himself internationally on the opera stage as well as in the field of song and concert performance.
As an opera singer, Hasselhorn was initially a member of the ensemble at the Vienna State Opera and then at the Nuremberg Opera. Today, he regularly performs at major opera houses such as the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden, the Frankfurt Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, and La Scala in Milan.
In the 2025/26 season, he will make his debut at the Baden-Baden Easter Festival as Heerrufer (Lohengrin) under the baton of Joana Mallwitz. He will return to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden under the baton of Christian Thielemann as Barbier Schneidebart in Die schweigsame Frau, as well as for the world premiere of Matthias Pintscher's Das kalte Herz and concerts featuring Brahms' Requiem, which he will also sing in a staged production at the Opéra Rouen.
He makes his debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu.
