Subsequent to Siyabonga Maqungo’s success with his debut at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden —he sang the part of David in the “Meistersinger von Nürnberg”—Daniel Barenboim has asked the South-African tenor to join the ensemble. After two exciting and more than worthwhile years at the Oper Chemnitz, Maqungo now looks forward to roles such as Tamino and Narraboth.
