FELIX KRIEGER
About
Felix Krieger has made a name for himself as one of the most exciting and versatile German conductors of his generation thanks to several highly acclaimed performances in Berlin´s Konzerthaus. He has started his carreer aged 22 in 1996, when Claudio Abbado named him his assistant conductor at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for a 2-years-term. Since than Krieger has conducted maior orchestras in concert, opera and ballet all over the world.
Since 2010 he is artistic director and principal conductor Berliner Operngruppe, together with whom he has given enthusiastically received performances in Konzerthaus Berlin, including the Berlin premieres of Verdi´s Stiffelio, Puccini´s Edgar or Mascagni´s Iris. In September 2021 he has conducted the German Premiere of Donizett´s Deux Hommes et une femme and most recently in June 2022 a double bill with Mascagni´s Zanetto and Wolf-Ferrari´s Il segreto di Susanna. In May 2023 Krieger will lead the worldpremiere of Donizetti´s Dalinda in Konzerthaus Berlin.
A live-recording of Iris was released by Oehms Classics in March 2021. With this album he got nominated for the prestiguos OPUS KLASSIK AWARD 2021 in the categories “conductor of the year” and “opera recording of the year (19. Century)” as well as for the “Bestenliste der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik” and for the International Classical Music Awards 2022 (ICMA).
Born in Freiburg, Felix Krieger studied conducting, piano and music theory at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, completing his studies with Carlo Maria Giulini at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole in Italy. As assistant conductor he has collaborated with Claudio Abbado, Daniele Gatti, Michael Gielen, Philippe Jordan and Seiji Ozawa and has worked for the Salzburg Festival (Wozzeck/Abbado), for the Staatsoper Berlin (Falstaff/Abbado) and for the Bayreuth Festival (Parsifal/Gatti).
He is a regular guest conductor at major international opera houses, such as the Staatsoper Berlin, Semperoper Dresden, the Opéra National de Paris and the Teatro Comunale di Bologna and has conducted many internationally renowned orchestras, including the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Staatskapelle Berlin, the Enescu Philharmonic Bukarest, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the London Sinfonietta, the Münchener Rundfunkorchester, the Orchestre de l’Opéra National de Paris, the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester, the Bach Collegium Stuttgart / Gächinger Kantorei, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg.
On the Shanghai Spring Music Festival in 2002 he conducted leading musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on their first-ever trip to China in cooperation with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra with Mozarts Jupiter-Symphony and Brahms 1. Symphony.
Felix Krieger was musicdirector of the Projeto Musica Orquestral Alemã from 2011-2012, conducting several symphonic concerts of the major German orchestral repertoire from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods to the 20th century in and around São Paulo. Also in São Paulo, as a regular conductor of Camerata Aberta, he has given numerous South American premieres of works by major composers such as Stockhausen, Henze, Rihm or Kagel.
Following early engagements in the opera houses of Kassel and Bielefeld, in which he conducted a diverse repertoire (including performances of Cosi fan tutte, Hänsel und Gretel, Il Trovatore, La Cenerentola, Lucia di Lammermoor, Lustige Witwe, Otello, Rusalka, Werther, Zauberflöte and Coppélia), Krieger conducted a successful debut in 2003 with Schumann’s 2nd symphony at the Staatsoper Berlin and was immediately reinvited to conduct Tschaikovsky´s Swan Lake. Since then, he has led the Staatskapelle Berlin on numerous occasions including the premieres of Viktor Ullmann’s Der Kaiser von Atlantis (2012/13), Marc Neikrug’s Through Roses (2013/14) and Stephen Oliver’s Mario and the Magnician (2015/16).
Krieger has been a regular guest conductor at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna. His world premiere of Scannavini’s La Doppia Notte – Aida und Tristan (2013) was followed by new productions of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake (2014), Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring (2015), and De Falla’s El Amor Brujo with La Fura dels Baus (2017).
In recent years, he has made successful debuts conducting new productions at the Opéra National de Paris (César Franck’s Psyché, 2014), at the Teatro Verdi in Triest (Mozart´s Il re pastore, 2014), at Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa (Lehar´s Die lustige Witwe, 2015) and at Theater Lübeck (Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, 2016). In 2018 he has made his debut with Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte at the Semperoper Dresden and has conducted new productions of Verdi’s Don Carlos at the Daegu International Opera Festival in South Korea (2018), the Mexican premiere of Verdi’s Stiffelio at the Opera Bellas Artes in Mexico City (2018) and Mozart´s La Clemenza di Tito in São Paulo (2019).
In the upcoming season 2022/2023 Krieger will conduct new productions of Nicolai´s Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor at Brandenburger Theater (in cooperation with the Chorus of Berliner Operngruppe), R. Strauss` Ariadne auf Naxos in São Paulo and the worldpremiere of Donizetti´s recently rediscovered Dalinda with Berliner Operngruppe in Konzerthaus Berlin.
On the Sony Classical label he has recorded the album The Art of Ensemble, works by the Spanish composer Benet Casablancas (*1956) with the London Sinfonietta. The CD was released in 2018.
Felix Krieger has also recently come into the public eye as a composer. His work for large ensemble, Cantus I – Zwischen den Welten (2015), was successfully premiered at the 49th Festival Musica Nova Gilberto Mendes in Brasil in 2015. Here, too, the first performance of Cantus II – “…durch alle Lüfte bricht“ (2017) was given in Autumn 2017 as well as his Duo for Flauto Alto and Doublebass Oh Luft, Du edles Element, führ´hin mein Liedlein behend` (2020). In November 2021, he has conducted the ensemble unitedberlin in the world premiere of his Cantus III – Íthymbos (2020) in Konzerthaus Berlin.

“(…) Conductor Felix Krieger led an electrifying account of Ullmann´s score. A gripping performance.”
G. Donizetti: Dalinda (worldpremiere), Berliner Operngruppe, Konzerthaus Berlin, May 2023
“(…) The belated premiere of Dalinda in mid-May at the Konzerthaus Berlin: a sensation. (…) So much immediacy and emotion was rare. The audience is sheerly out of its mind. Standing ovations are rare in the Konzerthaus. Felix Krieger recommends himself for medium and large houses, as a German conductor he obviously has the unusual gift of bringing the intoxicating piccolo Italianità of Donizetti and Co. to life. An extraordinary evening. ”
Arno Lücker/Opernwelt July 2023
“(…) The bar cannot be high enough: The Berliner Operngruppe and its noble ensemble delivered a stellar hour on May 14 and in the title role an exceptional voice that ambitious stages should be clamoring for: Lidia Fridman. (…)
The miracle of the “Dalinda” evening is that the others do not fall behind this top performance, but increase the excellent level honestly and of high quality, inspire, enthuse. The today rather rare jubilant hurricanes were not an influencer party among friends, but also a defensive initiative against the emotional heat loss and the resource ignorance of many opera houses. In the Berliner Operngruppe, vocal sport and emotions generate an impulsive density of friction.
(… ) With the Berliner Operngruppe, the much-maligned and much-loved score has not a single slack bar; everything develops free of naivety in lyrical-dramatic grandeur that exploits the melodrama with relish without remorse: Congenially involved in this stellar hour are the super-chorus expertly led by Steffen Schubert as well as Dalinda’s lackeys and poison victims acting with elegant fervor (…)”
Roland H. Dippel/Neue Musikzeitung
“(…) In the meantime the group around Felix Krieger is so established that they got the chance from the publisher to do the probably last premiere of a Donizetti opera. (…)
First-class cast, first-class singing (…)
Chapeau and Bravo! (…)
Again a great success for the Berlin opera group, fortunately recorded it remains to hope that the recording will be released as an album.”
Manuel Brug / MDR Klassik
“(…) A coup, realized magnificently beyond expectation (…).
Mad cheers from the bel canto fetishists, to which I will probably also belong(…)”
Kai Lührs-Kaiser/Deutschlandradio
“(…) Do we have to know all this in order to enjoy the frenetically cheered evening? No, Donizetti digs above all into the depths of the mother-son relationship. Mid-twenties Lidia Fridman in the title role is already Donizetti experienced, knows that it pays to think of the end at the beginning of a phrase, so that arrival is also guaranteed.
And then the most pleasing thing for me: when there are passages in which the sonorous bass baritone seems to drag with the tempo, conductor Felix Krieger nestles in without a problem – this is not someone who conducts instrumental music over the heads of the singers, as we often experience in opera houses as well (…)” Harald Asel/RBB Inforadio
“(…) Conclusion: the fiercely acclaimed evening was once again proof that rousing opera evenings are carried by great voices full of character and a passionate artistic director who joyfully animates all participants. We are already looking forward to what we hope will soon be a CD release.”
Dr. Ingbert Waltenberger / Online Merker
R. Strauss: Ariadne auf Naxos, Theatro São Pedro/ São Paulo, November 2022
” Musically directed by Felix Krieger, the spectacle was splendorous.”
Márvio Dos Anjos , O Globo
“(…) Excellent work was done by German conductor Felix Krieger at the head of the Orquesta do Theatro São Pedro. Under his leadership, the music flowed with the delicacy typical of this work, with precision, with clarity. One heard all the solos (always very well executed), very well marked the instrumental and melodic contrasts created by Strauss between Zerbinetta’s company and the Composer or the tragic singers. Attention for the singers, no one covered and the tempo was fluid (…) May he always come back!”
Fabiana Crepaldi/L´Ape musicale
Otto Nicolai: Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor, Brandenburger Theater, September 2022

P. Mascagni: Zanetto & E. Wolf-Ferrari: Il segreto di Susanna. Berliner Operngruppe, Konzerthaus Berlin, June 2022
(…) Once again the best forces were bundled by conductor Felix Krieger to bring the lost treasures over the ramp (…) Standing ovation.
Eleonore Büning, Der Tagesspiegel
(…) The waves of love as well as of music swing wonderfully balanced through the hall, with perfect Italianità this sketchy, melodically blossoming singing inspires. Short, sharp, spirited from the rhythmically piquant overture on, the mood changes after the intermission to the always pleasurable farce “Il Segreto die Susanna” by the German-Italian Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, who is unjustly heard only so rarely (…). …) This farce rolls virtuously towards its conciliatory end, conductor as well as orchestra, with which na even recognizes many a philharmonic on opera paths, make physical as well as instrumental leaps, have the tonally balanced hip swing on it. This one-act pas-de-deux thus dances extremely entertainingly in the Konzerthaus Kür. After so much Wagnerian nonsense and Mozartian wasteland in Berlin, a real relief. (…)
Manuel Brug, Brug’s Klassiker
(…) But what would the evening have been without Felix Krieger at the conductor’s podium, who knew how to lead his obviously highly motivated, highly professional orchestra equally confidently, inspired and inspiring, through the veristic color opulence as well as through the cheerful transparency of the comedy (…)

IRIS Album reviews, Oehms Classics 2021
(…) Den Kollektiven der Operngruppe unter Leitung von Felix Krieger kann man eine hohe Qualitätsstabilität bestätigen. Mit dem hohen Grundniveau des Orchesters lässt sich das Format ohne Weiteres als ernstzunehmende Fortsetzung der konzertanten Produktionen an der Deutschen Oper Berlin unter Götz Friedrich würdigen. Krieger hat eine glückliche Hand für die engagierten Mitwirkenden und das Können für deren bevorzugte Werkgruppe weniger bekannter italienischer Opern (…) Ähnliche Glücksmomente vernahm man bei der Berliner Operngruppe auch in einer packenden Giovanna d’Arco (2018) oder bei Puccinis Edgar in der Fassung für Buenos Aires (2019). Die Spree-Opernfamilie delektiert sich also jedes Jahr zu Recht an den melodramatischen Filetstücken. Roland Dippel in der Zeitschrift Das Orchester, September 2021
https://dasorchester.de/artikel/iris/
(…) Der Leiter der Berliner Operngruppe geht seine Rehabilitierung mit der vollen Verve eines Überzeugungstäters an, der seinen Mascagni keineswegs in verniedlichenden Anführungsstrichen als bloßen Wegbereiter von Puccinis Meisterwerk dirigiert. Krieger zeichnet den Sonnenaufgang des Vorspiels und die unschuldige Naturverzücktheit des Mädchens Iris, das seinen blinden Vater pflegt, in feinen Linien nach, während er die filmisch packende Direktheit ihrer Entführung durch den reichen Lüstling Osaka und Kyoto, den Chef eines Geishahauses mit leuchtenden Farben ausmalt. Der Chor der Berliner Operngruppe singt dazu mit Überwältigungsfuror und erinnert so daran, dass Mascagni eben der legendäre Schöpfer des österlichen Auferstehungshymnus in Cavalleria rusticana ist. Das Orchester, angereichert um originale japanische Instrumente wie die Langhalslaute Shamisen, spielt die effektvollen Exotismen mit delikater Lust. Die sängerische Besetzung würde auch einer Madama Butterfly zum Erfolg verhelfen (…) Kurzum: eine lohnende Entdeckung. Peter Krause in der Opernwelt, Juli 2021

(…) Krieger’s exhilarating conducting draws from both his singers and players some truly sublime performances, full of unbridled enthusiasm. The soloists in particular sing these unusual roles with an emotional ardour that is consistently moving. A beautiful live recording wholly recommended!

(…) Im rauschhaften Sonnenhymnus, mit dem die geschändete und tödlich verletzte Iris ins Jenseits eingeht, wie auch in den Szenen des Geishahauses laufen Chor und Orchester unter Felix Krieger zur Bestform auf (…) Wie bei deren Aufführungen im Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt Sicherheit, authentische Klangvorstellungen und liebevoll gestaltete Zwischentöne zusammenfallen, hört man in dieser beeindruckenden Aufnahme.

Eigentlich hätten bereits ihre Vorgänger verdient, was nun der vorerst letzten der Aufführungen der Berliner Operngruppe beschieden ist: die Verewigung auf zwei CDs mit Mascagnis Iris. (…)
Das Orchester zeichnet den Wechsel von der Nacht zum Tag gleich zu Beginn des Stücks bruchlos aus dem akustischen Dunkel aufbrechend und in ein immer reicher und raffinierter werdendes Farbspektrum nach, in nahtloser Steigerung und schönem An- und Abschwellen des Klangs sich entfaltend. Wunderbar werden im Verlauf der Oper die wechselnden Stimmungen erfasst, besonders das Vorspiel zu Iris‘ Arie im zweiten Akt, ihrer Vision vom Himmel, ist von großer atmosphärischer Dichte (…) 22.3.2021, Ingrid Wanja in Operalounge

G. Donizetti: Deux Hommes et une femme, Berliner Operngruppe, Konzerthaus Berlin, September 2021
“(…) Up to the cabaletta of Rita’s opening aria, Krieger began leisurely and thus brilliantly structured with the golden-voiced string section and the winds providing more pastoral glow than ironic wit. Conductor and orchestra prepared for the three singers a little later up to the last vaudeville recapitulation the finely flattering underground (…) Opera can be so topical: Rita or Deux hommes et une femme offers, measured by the small arsenal of characters and the only one-hour duration, a very rewarding and wide field of indignation opposition for today. This reversal of all plot conventions of the operatic triangles of soprano, tenor and baritone, usually resolved by death and grief, is far more than an occasional piece compatible with many hygiene concepts. There was much rejoicing.(…)”
Roland Dippel in the magazine Das Orchester
(…) Again a real cultural “highlight”! If you look for recordings or on the internet, you will find a number of different TV-recordings and CD-recordings of the Rita (ital.) or recently also of the French original version of “Deux hommes et une femme”, but it is indeed no exaggeration if the experienced performance could be rated as outstanding in vocal-musical (as well as scenic) respect. We hope for a live recording! In any case, the audience of the Berlin evening was enthusiastic from the beginning and celebrated the trio of singers, the orchestra and the conductor accordingly – also the directing team! (…)
Olaf Brühl in Kultura-extra
But what would the evening be without the spiritus rector of the Berliner Operngruppe company Felix Krieger (…) He had again perfectly prepared the orchestra for the often perceived as thankless accompanist function in bel canto, led the singers safely through the evening and provided brio, elegance and esprit for pure delight. The special applause of the enthusiastic audience, who did not want to say goodbye to the so long missed art enjoyment, was also directed to him.
Ingrid Wanja in Der Opernfreund
(…) The orchestra of the Berliner Operngruppe under the animated and competent direction of Felix Krieger provided, as usual, top-class playing. He and his outstanding musicians took hold of the “strings” briskly and spiritedly, without therefore disregarding the many instrumental details and concertante subtleties of the lively bel canto score (…)
Dr. Ingobert Waltenberger in the Feuilletonscout
(…) Conductor Felix Krieger, artistic director of the meritorious opera group, creates a cheerful, joyful atmosphere already with the few bars of the prelude, which lasts throughout the hour-long performance. (…)

P. Mascagni: Iris, Berliner Operngruppe, Konzerthaus Berlin, February 2020
(…) Chorus and orchestra of the Berliner Operngruppe warm up quickly under the direction of Felix Krieger, already the introductory chorus succeeds excellently (…) Impressive and highly professional orchestra and chorus, which in this quality could easily take on the three permanent Berlin opera houses (…) Peter Sommeregger in the online Merker, klassik-begeistert
(…) This rarity, as strange as it is sensual, has now been very subtly polished up by Felix Krieger with his orchestra and choir.(…)
Manuel Brug in Die Welt
(…) Under the musical direction of Felix Krieger, the multifaceted score unfolds in the most dazzling way (…)
Jochen Rüth in Der Opernfreund
(…) Overwhelming was the impression made by the orchestra of the Berliner Operngruppe under Felix Krieger, who was able to brilliantly convey Mascagni’s multi-layered music with its shimmering string brilliance, the impressionistic-melancholic mood and the indulgent melos. (…)

(…) He (Krieger) conducted Puccini’s EDGAR with great passion and precision through the emotional roller coaster of the opera. (…)
IOCO
(…) No wonder that many singers of the Berlin opera houses sit in the audience and cheer along. No wonder that the evenings of the Berlin opera group are becoming a must for more and more culture enthusiasts. And no wonder that by late summer at the latest, people are curiously waiting to see which opera gem this unique ensemble and Felix Krieger will snatch from half oblivion as winter approaches.

Felix Krieger had the musical events sovereignly in hand, provided already in the Sinfonia for a differentiated sound picture from the somber tremolo of the strings to the pompous march theme. He led the singers securely, knew how to increase the ensembles effectively and to work out the four finales as appropriate climaxes (…) Great cheering at the end (…).

“(…) This delicate, vulnerable balance on stage would never come to such filigree and impressive effect were it not for Felix Krieger’s musical direction, which held all the strings so virtuously in its hands. The Philharmonic Orchestra of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck plays with terrific precision and clarity in all orchestral groups.(…)”
Opernnetz
(…) Already in the overture Felix Krieger conducts the conflict of confessional vows of loyalty and the love-technical fickleness briskly to the point. At the supposed farewell of the soldiers (‘Soave sia il vento’) he succeeds in creating an unearthly harmony that makes Mozart’s music timeless. (…)
NDR
(…) The evening gains additional tension because guest conductor Felix Krieger lets the small Philharmonic Orchestra feel the nerve of Mozart’s music. Rapid tempi are chosen and confessed, there is silky softness and hardness, seduction and bitch alarm – a psychological masterpiece also on this level (…)

(…) Whoever fills these sforzati with emotion here and aggressively drives them forward there, as Felix Krieger does, creates atmosphere and the great arc of tension. The guest on the podium of the Lübeck Philharmonic reads the score with a clear eye, interprets its complexity, inspires the musicians to a historically slender tone. Under these circumstances, the orchestra is at its best. Already with this instrumental flexibility and at the same time unity, the performance in the Großes Haus is an event (…).
