Anton Haupt (Bass-Baritone)

Born: April 21, 1997 - Leipzig, Saxony, Germany

The German bass-baritone, Anton Haupt, comes from a Leipzig family of singers and received his early musical education in the music profile of the Rudolf Hildebrand-Gymnasiums and the Musikschule Ottmar Gerster. After graduating from high school, he took singing lessons from Annette Reinhold and has been studying singing/opera at Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" in Leipzig since October 2016, initially with Professor Ilse-Christine Otto and since the winter semester 2018 with Professor Berthold Schmid. He is a scholarship holder of Internationalen Sängerakademie Torgau and winner of the Albert-Lortzing-Wettbewerbes 2019.

Anton Haupt made his debut as Figaro in G. Paisiello's Il barbiere di Siviglia with the Junge Mitteldeutsche Kammeroper, Father in Engelbert Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel in a production by Viviane Araiza, Plutone in C. Monteverdi's L'Orfeo at Dalheimer Sommer, Meister Enterich in C. Millöcker's Der Bettelstudent as a production of the HMT Leipzig, and Hans in A. Lortzing's Undine at the Bernburger Sommeroper. In summer 2020 he will be Belcore in G. Donizetti's L’elisir d’amore.

His lively concert activity took him to Lübeck in 2018, for example, to sing the Jesus part in J.S. Bach's Johannes-Passion (BWV 245) conducted by Karl Hänsel with the Lübecker Knabenkantorei an St. Marien. Under the direction of the Gewandhauschor director Gregor Meyer and the Vokalconsort Leipzig, he performed the bass role in Die erste Walpurgisnacht by Felix Mendelssohn. At the Dalheimer Sommer 2017, he sang C. Monteverdi’s Marienvesper under the baton of Arno Paduch. Robert Schumann's Requiem took him to Karlsbad under the baton of Ron-Dirk Entleutner.

Anton Haupt is a founding member of the early music ensemble La protenzione della musica. He sang as a chorister with well-known conductors such as Herbert Blomstedt, Alan Gilbert, Stefan Asbury, Trevor Pinnock, Hermann Max, Andris Nelsons, Gregor Meyer and Tetsuji Honna. He currently lives in Leipzig, Germany.
