Biography

After studying at the Sibelius Academy Helsinki, Jussi Myllys made his debut as Don Ottavio/Don Giovanni in Turku and was a member of the Frankfurt Opera ensemble from 2006 to 2009.

Since the 2009/10 season, he has been a member of the ensemble at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf, where he sang, among others the title role of Titus in Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito, Tamino/The Magic Flute, Belmonte/The Abduction from the Seraglio, Don Ottavio/Don Giovanni, Sir Richard Fenton/The Merry Wives of Windsor, Rinuccio/Gianni Schicchi, Alfred and Eisenstein / Die Fledermaus, Singer / Der Rosenkavalier, Matteo / Arabella, Froh / Rheingold, Lensky / Eugene Onegin, Narraboth / Salomé, Tom Rakewell / The Rake's Progress and Arturo / Lucia di Lammermoor.

Guest engagements have taken him to renowned opera houses and festivals, including the Opéra Bastille Paris (Ferrando/Così fan tutte), the Bavarian State Opera in Munich (including Jaquino/Fidelio and Steuermann/Der fliegende Holländer), the Semperoper Dresden (Tamino/Die Zauberflöte, Belmonte/Entführung aus dem Serail), the Komische Oper Berlin (Tamino/Zauberflöte), the Finnish National Opera Helsinki (Ferrando/Così fan tutte, Lenski/Eugen Onegin, Hirte/Oedipus Rex), the Gran Teatre del Liceu Barcelona (Tamino/Die Zauberflöte), the Basel Theatre (Lucio Silla/Lucio Silla), the Edinburgh Festival, the Savonlinna Opera Festival (Belmonte/The Abduction from the Seraglio, Cassio/Otello), the National Opera Amsterdam (Max/Freischütz), the Opéra national du Rhin Strasbourg (Max/Freischütz), the Bonn Opera (Konrad in Giacomo Meyerbeer's A Camp in Silesia) and the Espoo City Theatre (Florestan/Fidelio).

His keen interest in contemporary music and challenging directorial concepts has resulted in many invitations to premières and world premières at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, the Frankfurt Opera and the Savonlinna Opera Festival, among others, and with works by Frederick Delius, Peter Eötvös, Hans Werner Henze, Jörg Widmann, Aulis Sallinen and Boris Blacher. 

As a sought-after concert and lieder singer, he regularly works with orchestras such as the Gürzenich Orchestra, the International Bach Academy Stuttgart, the RIAS Chamber Choir, the Nederlands Kamerkoor, the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest and the most renowned ensembles in his home country. Most recently, he performed Haydn's Seasons under the direction of Matthew Halls and the Tapiola Sinfonietta and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis at the Laeiszhalle Hamburg.

In recent years, he has successfully established himself as a young heldentenor. In 2023, he made his role debut as Erik in Der Fliegende Holländer at Tampere Opera in Finland, followed by the title role in Parsifal under the baton of Frank Beermann and the direction of Erik Vigié in Minden.

At his home theatre in Düsseldorf, he sings Erik/Flying Dutchman and, for the first time, Števa in the new Jenufa production conducted by Axel Kober and directed by Tatjana Gürbaca. 

In the 2024/25 season, he will add roles such as Ismaele/ Nabucco and Zinovij/ Shostakovich ‘Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk’ to his extensive repertoire.
