Christoph Strehl (born 8 April 1968) is a German tenor in opera and concert. He has appeared at major opera houses internationally, regarded as a specialist for Mozart roles, but performing a broad repertoire. He appeared as Don Ottavio in Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Salzburg Festival conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt and as Tamino in Die Zauberflöte with Claudio Abbado on the conductor's first recording of the opera. He is professor of voice at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.
Born in Lübeck, Strehl attended the Carl-Jacob-Burckhardt-Gymnasium [de], where Barbara Grusnick, Bruno Grusnick's wife, discovered his talent. Encouraged by her, he studied voice at the Universität der Künste Berlin, and at the Folkwang-Hochschule in Essen with Soto Papulkas.[1] He studied privately with Silvana Bazzoni Bartoli, and took masterclasses with Josef Metternich, Gianni Raimondi and Norman Shetler. He achieved first prize at the Alexander Girardi International Singing Competition in Coburg in 1999.[1]
Christoph Strehl, a name new to me but already in great demand in Mozart on the Continent, sings with a Wunderlich-like strength and beauty, and rather more light and shade than his famous predecessor brought to the role. His is a wonderfully virile, vital reading that gives pleasure to the ear, as much in ensemble as in aria.[7]
