Brief profile

“…at times magnificently resonant, then gliding into a delicate piano, he lets the final notes fade away magically…” DER SPIEGEL (Johannes Saltzwedel)

Swiss baritone Äneas Humm, awarded the OPUS KLASSIK in 2022, made his debut at the Stadttheater Bremerhaven at the age of 18 and completed his vocal studies at the Juilliard School New York with Edith Wiens in 2019.

Following permanent engagements at the German National Theatre in Weimar, the Baden State Theatre in Karlsruhe and the Theatre of St. Gallen, Äneas Humm has, since the 2023/2024 season, embarked on a new path towards musical freedom, free from any commitment to a permanent theatre company.

Highlights of the 2025/2026 season include The Winter’s Tale at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, with recitation by Katharina Thalbach; a further collaboration with the Opera di Roma as Harlequin in Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos; and his role debut as the Herald in Wagner’s Lohengrin at the Gran Teatro La Fenice.

He is deeply passionate about the lieder repertoire and has released numerous lieder albums. His regular lieder accompanists are Renate Rohlfing and Doriana Tchakarova.
