Born in Aarhus, Denmark Christian studied at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with Udo Reinemann and Margreet Honig, and also has a master’s degree in Musicology and Rhetoric from the University of Aarhus. He is on a continuous journey to refine his talent and expand his repertoire and has worked extensively with renowned singers and vocal coaches, such as Tonny Landy, Ulrich Stærk and Klavs Lewinsky (Copenhagen), John Lidal (Oslo), Gregory Lamar (Berlin) and most recently with Elda Laro (Deutsche Oper Berlin).
A warm, flexible tenor voice and a strong theatrical presence has given Christian the opportunity to work in diverse fields of opera. His musical curiosity and refined acting skills make him a good fit for character roles, and he has performed and recorded operas with renowned conductors such as Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Michael Schønwandt, Nicholas Cleobury, Christian Kluxen, Olof Boman and Benjamin Bayl. His talent for musical comedy won him much acclaim in the part of the servant Arv in Nielsen’s Maskarade and the notary Pascal Dumont in the revival of Schierbeck’s Fête Galante; both on cd with Michael Schønwandt and the Danish National Orchestra. On stage Christian has worked with stage directors such as Kasper Holten, Àlex Ollé, Floris Visser, Philip Kochheim, Annilees Miskimmon, Deda Colonna, Catherine Poher and Elisabeth Linton.
