Poul Elming

Poul Elming is a Danish operatic tenor who made waves in the classical world with his powerful Wagnerian performances and collaborations on Nordic repertoire. Known for his rich, dramatic voice, he became a go-to interpreter for roles in Wagner operas like *Die Walküre*, while also championing Danish composers like Niels Gade and Carl Nielsen. His standout credits include creating the role of The Commander in Poul Ruders' chilling opera *The Handmaid's Tale* and starring in landmark recordings like *Heise: Drot og marsk*. Elming's career reflects a knack for balancing Germanic intensity with Scandinavian lyricism, often working with conductors like Michael Schønwandt and labels like Chandos to bring both classic and lesser-known Nordic works to international ears. Though not a household name, he's left a distinctive mark in opera's heavyweight roles and his homeland's musical legacy.
