John Treleaven has personified Tristan worldwide e.g. in the Hamburg State Opera, at the Gran Teatro del Liceu Barcelona, the Frankfurt Opera, the Brisbane Festival, at the Teatro Verdi di Verona, the Teatro Regio di Torino, in Santiago de Chile, in concert performances in Montreal, at the Luzern Festival with Maestro Claudio Abbado, as well as with the BBC Symphony Orchestra London with Donald Runnicles (published by Warner Music). Treleaven repeatedly portrayed Tristan at the Bavarian State Opera Festival in Munich and at the Summer Festival of the Bavarian State Opera (Bayerische Staatsoper).
Moreover, in 2008 Treleaven convinced both audience and press with his TRISTAN interpretation at the Vienna State Opera and the Los Angeles Opera.
John Treleaven is among the most sought after Heldentenors at the important international opera houses. He was celebrated as Stolzing at the Bavarian State Opera Festival in Munich, in Toulouse and in Peter Konwitschny’s production at the Hamburg State Opera. As Lohengrin he has performed successfully at the Vienna State Opera, the Gran Teatro del Liceu Barcelona, the Hamburg State Opera, in Gothenburg, Basle and Amsterdam, as Tannhäuser he fascinated public and press at the Staatsoper of Hamburg as well as in the 2008 production of the Opera House Graz.
John Treleaven has achieved particular success internationally as Siegfried in Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, including Tokyo, Zurich, Helsinki, at the Gran Teatro del Liceu Barcelona (available as a DVD), at the Vienna State Opera, the Royal Opera House London with Antonio Pappano and Keith Warner and at the Lyric Opera Chicago.
He sang Siegmund in Karlsruhe, Tokyo and Nice, in Dresden’s Semper Opera, as well as in concerts with the Bamberg Symphony and the Helsinki Radio Orchestra.
John Treleaven proves his special affinity for Wagner heroes in his solo recitals ‘Wagner’s heroes’ - excerpts from the Ring - and a ‘Wagner Portrait’.
