Johan Reuter

Johan Reuter is a celebrated Danish bass-baritone who’s become a staple in the world of opera and classical music. Born in Copenhagen, Reuter trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Music and has since graced prestigious stages like the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera, and Royal Danish Opera. Known for his rich, resonant voice and dramatic depth, he shines in heavyweight roles from Wagner’s brooding *Tristan und Isolde* to Strauss’s intense *Salome* (check out his commanding performance in “Tanz für mich, Salome”). His versatility stretches beyond German Romantic works—he’s also a champion of Scandinavian composers like Nielsen (*Maskarade*) and has delved into lieder, including Schubert’s haunting *Winterreise*. Recent projects, like the Brahms album featuring *Alto Rhapsody* and collaborations with top orchestras, highlight his range from orchestral songs to lush symphonic works. Whether he’s onstage or in the recording studio, Reuter brings a magnetic intensity to every note.
