At the occasion of Siyabonga Maqungo’s Staatsoper Berlin debut in “Meistersinger” under Daniel Barenboim, Phillip Schober commented in opernmagazin.de: “… As David, young tenor Siyabonga Maqungo—a guest from the Theater Chemnitz—celebrated a more than successful debut at the Staatsoper. He painted David as naively frivolous, with a clear, bright voice, clear and precise diction and an immense delight in performing …”
Back in his current home Chemnitz, he is now preparing his next role debut, Jaquino in Beethoven’s “Fidelio”.
