Karl-Walter Böhm

He studied voice in Berlin. The first few years (from 1967), he sang only on the open-air stage in Berlin-Rehberge. His debut in a regular theater was in 1970 in Aachen as Radames. The next seasons, he was a member of, consecutively, the theaters of Osnabrück, Bremerhaven, Munich (Gärtnerplatztheater) and Mannheim. From 1978, he was a freelance artist, singing mostly in middle-class venues like Cologne, Nürnberg, Essen, Bern, Graz, Budapest, Nancy, Bologna, Lisbon, Portland or Milwaukee, but also at large theaters like the Vienna State Opera (4 performances), Barcelona, the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the Opéra in Paris and the Salzburg Festival.

His roles included Rienzi, Tristan, Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, Siegmund, Parsifal, Herodes, Florestan, Tambourmajor, Max, Canio, Pedro, Lenskij, Manrico and Otello.
