Abstract
Georg Zeppenfeld is still best remembered by Zurich residents as the bass soloist in Christian Spuck's staged interpretation of Verdi's Requiem, but he has also appeared at Opernhaus Zürich in his signature role as Sarastro in Mozart's Magic Flute or as Zaccaria in Verdi's Nabucco. Internationally, Georg Zeppenfeld has made a name for himself primarily as an interpreter of Wagner - at the Bayreuth Festival, for example, he has been one of the most popular singers for many years. He has also long been a regular at the Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden, where he was appointed Kammersänger. In addition, Georg Zeppenfeld, whose sonorous, colorful bass and text comprehensibility also predestine him for Lied, performs as a Lied singer. In Zurich, he is now tackling a classic of Lied singing: Franz Schubert's song cycle Winterreise. His piano partner is Gerold Huber.
