“His lyric tenor voice had a youthful glow, yet he sang with plaintive beauty and piercing insight.” (The New York Times)

Precise vocal control, clear diction, intelligent musicality, and an ability to get to the heart of everything he sings all ensure Christoph Prégardien’s place among the world’s foremost lyric tenors. Especially revered as a Lieder singer he appears in all the most important musical centres, while much of his repertoire has been captured on a discography of over 150 albums a great number of which are award-winners. It is with enormous pleasure that we welcome him to Leeds to close the 2025 Festival performing Schubert’s ever-green cycle with Festival Director, Joseph Middleton.
