Georg Nigl continues to enthral audiences and the press alike with his passionate and authentic performances, be it his acclaimed Wozzeck at La Scala in Milan, Rihm’s Lenz in Brussels and Berlin, or his rendition of Bach Cantatas with Luca Pianca. His deep and comprehensive exploration of all the works he performs, his close affinity to spoken theatre and the associated emphasis on text and rhetoric, as well as his impressive acting skills on stage, have made Georg Nigl one of the world’s most acclaimed baritones. He has appeared at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, the Berlin State Opera, the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, the Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam and the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, as well as at festivals such as the Salzburg Festival, the Aix-en-Provence Festival, the Ruhrtriennale and the Wiener Festwochen. In January 2025, Nigl sang the role of Gabriel von Eisenstein in Strauss‘ »Fledermaus« at the Vienna State Opera.

Georg Nigl’s chamber music repertoire covers a broad range from baroque to the First Viennese School to contemporary music – developed and performed together with Alexander Melnikov, Gérard Wyss and Luca Pianca. His 2020 album »Vanitas« with Beethoven’s »An die ferne Geliebte«, selected songs by Franz Schubert and Wolfgang Rihm’s »Vermischter Traum« won the 2021 German Record Critics’ Award. Performed at the Musikfest Bremen in 2022, the »Vanitas« concert captivated the audience in the Great Auditorium of the Glocke. The spring of 2023 saw the release of »Echo«, with songs and ballads by Schubert, Loewe, Schumann and Wolf, which again received high praise by the press. His own series of »Kleine Nachtmusiken« at the Salzburg Festival has been well received from the start in 2023. Georg Nigl built on the intimate format of the musical-literary song recital at the Vienna State Opera in January 2025, organising a literary and musical evening with Nicholas Ofczarek and Vladimir Jurowski with texts by Karl Kraus and music by Gustav Mahler and Hanns Eisler. Introduced last year at the Musikfest Bremen under the name »Musikalischer Salon« with Sven-Eric Bechtolf and Alexander Gergelyfi, its success here has also led to a new instalment of the experiment.
