Brent L. Damkier, (pronounced Dam-key-r) handsome lyric tenor
at the Regensburg Opera, is best known for his recent roles as
Prince Tamino in The Magic Flute and Prince Ramiro in
Cinderella.
Eine Nacht in Venedig, (A Night in Venice) by Strauss premiered
on October 23, 2004. Damkier plays the roll of Pappacoda, a
Spaghetti cook. It is a tremendous comic roll and Damkier
usually receives the most applause even through it is a smaller
singing role. This is the remaining performance. Just 75 miles
(120 kilometers) out of Munich is the historic German town of
Regensburg. Just off the Danube River, nestled in the heart of a
charming old town square is an intimate 380 year-old opera house
seating 524 dedicated patrons and international guests; it is
home to the leading tenor.
Damkier, who has performed throughout Europe, thrills audiences,
with his sweet interpretation and punctuated tenor dexterity.
>From character parts, to the male ingénue, to the leading man,
Damkier is bridging his operating roots to a U.S. tour in 2006
which will cross-over to a cabaret format broadening his
audience and fan club. One of the recital performances in early
2006 will be recorded and distributed for wide release.
The youthful face looks to be fresh out of high school having
originally hailed from Northern California, yet is the face,
voice, and actor of a well-trained virtuoso in his thirties. Six
years ago without any training in German, the nearly six-foot
tall, handsome, golden-eyed, fair-skinned performer headed for
Germany to hone his craft on the stages of several smaller opera
companies. According to producer and promoter TR Cutler, Damkier
will make his recital debut in South Florida.
