He was awarded prizes at the singing contests in Berlin s’Hertogenbosch and the International Bach Contest in Leipzig. Furthermore he also won the sponsorship prize for young artists awarded by the State of Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Berthold Possemeyer's opera debut at the Oldenburg Theatre was followed by other engagements in Essen, Gelsenkirchen, the ‘Komische Oper’ in Berlin and the Volksoper in Vienna. Concert engagements also led to numerous festivals. In recent years he has become much in demand for song recitals and oratorios.
