Wolfram B Meyer comes from Germany. He studied the performing arts at Universität
der Künste in Berlin. Theater is in his blood: his parents met while both working in a
production of Tannhäuser at the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth. Wolfram’s first theater
contract was when he was fifteen. Extensive theatrical background includes opera,
operetta, musicals, and plays. Apart from performing he also writes his own shows. In
Berlin he became well known as Richard Tauber in his own revue “Marlene Tauber
Story”. He has performed all over Europe, and major singing roles include: Eisenstein in
Johann Strauss’ The Bat; Tamino in Mozart’s Magic Flute, Des Grieux in Massenet’s
Manon and Rodolfo in Puccini’s La Bohème. His first production in the U.S. was
“Salome” at Capitol Opera, Sacramento. He last made his role-debut as José in Bizet’s
Carmen.

REVIEWS
Uwe Friedrich, Opernwelt, June 1999: "Es muß!"
"Intelligente Phrasierung und weitgespannte Melodiebögen bieten hingegen der Tenor Wolfram B. Meyer als
Zorzeto und Doreen Hoffrichter in der Rolle der Gnese."
William Glackin, Sacramento Bee, November 12th, 2001: " 'Salome' an ambitious success"
"As Herod, Wolfram Bernhard Meyer showed equally impressive qualities of ringing power and range and gave
the foolish despot intelligence."
Patricia Beach Smith, Sacramento Bee, June 15th, 2002: "Merrily to the convent in Massenet's 'Manon' "
"Meyer and Darrah proved a charming, well-suited and musically pleasing couple. Both have big, attractive voices
... Even so, Meyer showed obvious acting acumen. He deftly used the minimal stage and the smallest props ... "
