Lars Fosser –Bass-Baritone "With his superbly sounding voice, Danish-Norwegian bassbaritone Lars Fosser, gives the role (Rigoletto) an impressive dimension and profoundness" (Bruno Villien-Opera Magazine) 


Lars Fosser's musical and theatrical heritage reflects his life with a stage director father, and a singer mother. His artistic upbringing introduced him to a long and loving relationship with Grand Opera, intimate lieder, and even American show tunes. The bas-baritone's exuberant performances in such magnificent roles as Guiseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto, Nabucco, Posa in Don Carlos ,Conte di Luna in Il Trovatore and Don Carlo in Ernani, as well as Giacomo Puccini’s Scarpia in Tosca, and Sharpless in Madama Butterfly, and his portrayel of Wagnerian roles such as Wotan and Alberich in the Ring, shower him with critical acclaim in this repertoire, dubbing him a "magnificent baritone with a weighty and well balanced voice, that will bring anyone whohears him to ecstasy," --as well as”the new Danish superbaritone." Lars Fosser Has sung under the baton of such renowned conductors as Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Prof. Rolf Reuter (†), Giordano Bellincampi, Thomas Dausgaard a.o. He has also worked with destinguised stagedirectors like Prof. Götz Friedrich (†), George Tabori(†),Kasper Holten, Francisco Negrin, Katharina Thalbach and many others.

He has sung in numerous theaters in Germany, Austria, Denmark, France, Spain and Norway, such as the Royal Danish Opera and the Danish National Opera, Dresden Staatsoperette, National Norwegian Opera, Opera Lyrique des ClermontFerrand etc. Lars Fosser is also a frequent concert artist, thrilling audiences in major venues such as Carnegie Hall in NewYork, Danish Radio Symphony Hall, as well as the Tivoli Symphony Hall in Copenhagen, Mercedes Halle in Berlin and Braunschweigs grosses Kulturhaus, with such fine orchestras as Staatskapelle Berlin, Staatskapelle Braunschweig, The Copenhagen Phil., Danish National Radio Symfony Orcestra, and many others.

“EXTREMELY FRIVOLOUS AND WELLSUNG...LARS FOSSER PLAYS THE TITLE ROLE GLOWINGLY INTENSE AND WITH COLLOSAL VOICE... ULTRA MASCULINE AND WITH A PITCH-BLACK SOUND, THE HUNCHBACKED JESTERS AGONIES AREPAINTED IN A FASHION THAT IS SOTOUCHINGTHATITIS ALMOST PAINFUL FOR THE AUDIENCE TO BARE WITNESS TOO...” (Ulrik Cold –Børsen)
