Baritone Dietrich Henschel captivates audiences as a regular guest at major opera houses, and as an esteemed interpreter of lieder and oratorios as well as with his multimedia projects. His repertoire stretches from Monteverdi to the avant-garde. His international career began with an outstanding lead performance in Busoni's Doktor Faust at the Opéra de Lyon and the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, for which he was awarded a Grammy.
