BIOGRAPHY
The baritone Ludwig Mittelhammer, trained at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich with Prof. F. Lang and H. Elbert, and further shaped by masterclasses with, among others, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Brigitte Fassbaender, was a member of the Bavarian Theatre Academy August Everding and is the recipient of major awards, including First Prize at the International Art Song Competition of the Hugo Wolf Academy (2014) and the Bavarian Arts Promotion Prize (2015).
His operatic career has taken him, among other places, to the opera houses of Frankfurt and Nuremberg, as well as to Cleveland and Tokyo.
In 2025, he made his debut at the Vienna State Opera as Papageno in a new production.
The Munich-born singer maintains a close association with the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, where he can be seen during the 2025/26 season, among other roles, as Eisenstein, Count Almaviva, and Alfred Ill in The Visit of the Old Lady by Gottfried von Einem.
As a sought-after concert and Lied singer, Mittelhammer has worked with renowned orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, as well as with conductors including Franz Welser-Möst, Daniel Harding, and Jaap van Zweden.
His recital appearances have taken him to major international venues such as Wigmore Hall in London, the Vienna Konzerthaus, and the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg. His debut album featuring songs by Schubert, Medtner, and Wolf was released in 2019 by Berlin Classics.

War Requiem
One of the 20th century’s grandest and most moving calls for peace is taken up by The Cleveland Orchestra, two of TCO’s choruses, and three preeminent vocalists, all under the baton of Daniel Harding. Born from the horrors of two world wars, Britten’s searing War Requiem intersperses the Latin Requiem text with haunting antiwar poems by British poet and soldier Wilfred Owen. It’s a powerfully emotional experience that you will not soon forget.
