Klaus Florian Vogt

Klaus Florian Vogt, born in Heide in northern Germany in 1970, began his musical life as a horn player in the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra before studying singing at the Lübeck Academy of Music. He joined the ensemble in Flensburg and then, in 1998, the Semperoper in Dresden. Wagner’s Lohengrin, which he first sang in 2002, became his signature role, and he made his Bayreuth Festival debut in 2007 as Walther von Stolzing in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
