From Oslo, we do remember well, the young german tenor Daniel Behle, who won the Queen Sonja singing competition in 1995, it shall be interesting to enjoy him as Don Ottavio

.

Later on we had the pleasure to listen to Daniel Behle  as Camille des Rossillon in The Merry Widow at Palais Garnier, together with Bo Skovhus as Count Danilo
.

Markus Werba did an outstanding job as Papageno lately, it shall now be interesting to enjoy him as Don Giovanni, where he need to use other sides of his talent and og his musicality.
