Biography

South Korean operatic bass-baritone (b. 1971, Seoul). [b]Samuel Youn[/b] (윤태현, romanized as [i]Yun Tae-hyeon[/i] or [i]Yun T'aehyŏn[/i]) has been [l=Oper Köln]'s soloist since the 1999/2000 season, with leading male roles in critically-acclaimed operas by [a=Richard Strauss], [a=Georges Bizet], [a=Richard Wagner], and [a=Carl Maria von Weber], among others. Besides his operatic roles, Youn also sang in [i]German Requiem[/i] by [a=Johannes Brahms], [url=https://discogs.com/artist/239236]Mahler[/url]'s [i]Symphony No. 8[/i], [url=https://discogs.com/artist/95544]Beethoven[/url]'s [i]Symphony No. 9[/i], and various other orchestral works and concerts. Samuel Youn studied in South Korea, Italy and Germany at [l=Musikhochschule Köln] with [a=Arthur Janzen]. He performed in several Wagner's operas at the prestigious [url=https://discogs.com/label/1812877]Bayreuth Festival[/url], debuting in [i]Parsifal[/i] (2004) conducted by [a=Pierre Boulez], followed by [i]Tannhäuser[/i] (05) under [a=Christian Thielemann]'s baton and [i]Lohengrin[/i] (2010) conducted by [a=Andris Nelsons]. In 2012, Samuel Youn had perhaps the most publicized Bayreuth appearance as the first Korean-born artist to sing the leading role in Wagner's [i]Der Fliegende Holländer[/i]. (At the last moment, he stood in for Russian singer [a=Evgeny Nikitin], who withdrew after the German press published his old photos with controversial tattoos.) In 2016, Youn sang in [a=Giacomo Puccini]'s [i]Tosca[/i] at [l=Royal Opera House] in Covent Garden, London, and also made his first appearance in the United States, in Wagner's [i]Das Rheingold[/i] staged by the [a=Lyric Opera of Chicago].
