Wolfram B Meyer 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 signed his first theater
contract at age fifteen. Professional performing experience includes opera, operetta,
concert, and recitals. Tours and guest appearances take him through Africa, the USA and
entire Europe. Major singing roles include: Eisenstein in Johann Strauss’ The Bat;
Tamino in Mozart’s Magic Flute, Rodolfo in Puccini’s La Bohème and Don José in
Bizet’s Carmen. He last made his role-debut as Fernando in Donizetti’s La Favorita.

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 ... "
