Artists Introduction
Tenor|Claude LIN
Claude LIN once performed at the Theater Kiel in northern Germany. With over 20 years of singing experience, he has become more adept at expressing the nuances of tenor singing, enunciating clearly, and producing a soft and beautiful tone with occasional powerful moments. He excels in MOZART and Italian bel canto operas, and has gradually ventured into romantic realistic operas, showcasing a diverse stage presence while maintaining high-quality and noble singing.
In addition to opera, he also participates in sacred music and performances in solo concerts with orchestra, and delves into exquisite and elegant chamber music songs. He effortlessly sings out the profound poetry. He has performed "La Bonne chanson", "On Wenlock Edge", "Four Hymns", "Les Illuminations" and "Cause.Effect". He also holds art songs concerts, having toured singing Hugo WOLF's "EichendorffLieder" and SCHUBERT's "Schwanengesang," expanding to sing contemporary art songs, continuously promoting vocal art.
