Biography
The Austrian-New Zealand bass Anthony Robin Schneider is a multifaceted artist with a flexible, powerful yet velvety voice, who excels at combining musicality and expression in Opera and Concert Repertoire from all eras, with a particular affinity for Mozart, Wagner, and Verdi.From 2019-2024, Schneider was a member of the Frankfurt Opera ensemble, where his roles included the title role in Barry Kosky's production of Hercules (Handel) as well as King Henry (Lohengrin), Bartolo (Le nozze di Figaro), Grand Inquisitor (Don Carlo) and Sparafucile (Rigoletto).
From 2021 to 2024, Schneider was a guest in Brigitte Fassbaender's highly acclaimed Wagner Ring production at the Tyrolean Festival Erl, where he sang the roles of Fafner (Das Rheingold, Siegfried) and Hunding (Die Walküre) under the musical direction of Erik Nielsen. In the summer of 2023, he also sang Bruckner's Te Deum and Rossini's Stabat Mater in Erl.
In addition to his permanent engagement at Oper Frankfurt, Anthony Robin Schneider has made two house debuts in recent seasons, including at the Staatstheater Braunschweig as Fafner (Das Rheingold) and at the Semperoper Dresden as Sarastro (Die Zauberflöte). He also sang this role at the Houston Grand Opera.
He also appeared as King Heinrich der Vogler (Lohengrin) in a new production by Christof Loy at the Nationale Opera in Amsterdam under the musical direction of Lorenzo Viotti and as the nurse of Orest (Elektra) with the Berliner Philharmoniker under the musical direction of Kirill Petrenko in Baden-Baden and Berlin.
Other guest appearances include the Ghost of Hector (Les Troyens) in David McVicar's production at the Vienna State Opera and Truffaldino (Ariadne auf Naxos) at the Santa Fe Opera and with the Cleveland Orchestra.
His concert repertoire also includes Mozart's Requiem (Cleveland Orchestra), Beethoven's 9th Symphony (hr-Sinfonieorchester 2022, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra 2018 and 2019), Handel's The Messiah (Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Santa Cecilia) and Haydn's Creation (Frankfurt Opera and Museum Orchestra).

"Anthony Robin Schneider gibt seinem groben Widersacher eine markige Gestalt von männlicher Kraft und faszinierender Bassfülle. Vor diesem Hunding muss man sich wirklich in acht nehmen, das ist ein ernstzunehmender Gegner. Stimmlich ist er einer der ganz Großen in der Produktion."

"Anthony Robin Schneider gestaltet ihn mit wunderbar rund klingendem, sehr schön und sanft gefürtem Bass, beinahe väterlich, so dass seine kriegstreiberischen Sprüche und die Demagogie unter der wohlklingende Oberfläche ihre Gefährlichkeit gekonnt ahnen lassen."
Die Zauberflöte / Houston Grand Opera / 05.02.2022 / texasclassicalreview.com
"The resonance and breadth of Schneider's singing helped tell the story, though, and Schneider treated the music's lower reaches to a studier tone than some basses can muster."

"Schneider gestaltete diesen Teil differenziert und lotet seine kräftige Stimme in vielen Klangfarben aus."
