Daniel Behle

Daniel Behle is a German tenor celebrated for his versatility across opera, oratorio, and lieder. Born in Hamburg, he has built a reputation as one of the leading lyric tenors of his generation. Behle’s operatic performances span roles in works by Mozart, Wagner, and Strauss, and he's appeared at major opera houses and festivals across Europe. Audiences and critics alike praise his clear, expressive tone and his ability to bring emotional nuance to a wide range of repertoire.

In addition to his stage work, Behle is an accomplished recitalist and recording artist. He has a particular affinity for the art song tradition, and his recordings include a mix of German lieder—from the Romantic masterpieces of Schumann and Strauss to lesser-known gems. Many of his recent projects, like "Hei Cho: Mundartlieder auf Gedichte von Josef Reinhart," showcase his interest in exploring diverse vocal traditions and poetic texts.
