Acclaimed Danish bass, Stephen Milling returns to Wiener Staatsoper in January as both Rocco in Otto Schenk’s production of Fidelio under Peter Schneider, and Sarastro in Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s Die Zauberflöte under Cornelius Meister – productions open on 7 and 23 January respectively.

In an extremely busy season, Milling is pleased to return to his old and much-loved role of Philippe II (Don Carlos) which he will perform at Opéra national du Rhin in summer 2016. He previously performed the role at Festspielhaus Baden-Baden under Sir Simon Rattle and at Royal Opera House Covent Garden under Hartmut Haenchen.
