Johannes Weisser was born in 1980 in Norway. He studied at the Music Conservatory in Copenhagen and at the Royal Danish Academy of Opera in Copenhagen with Susanna Eken. In the spring of 2004, at the age of 23, he made his debut at the Norwegian National Opera as well as at the Komische Oper in Berlin, in both houses as Masetto in »Don Giovanni«.

Engagements have brought him to highly acclaimed venues like the Salzburg Festival, Staatsoper Berlin, Theater an der Wien, Théâtre de La Monnaie in Brussels, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Opera Bilbao, Royal Danish Opera, and Edinburgh International Festival.

Johannes Weisser is also a much sought after concert and oratorio singer and he regularly appears in concert venues and festivals throughout Europe. He has a considerable repertoire that spans music from the early 17th Century works of Monteverdi up to 20th Century works of Weill and Britten.

Weisser has recorded the title role in »Don Giovanni«, Telemann’s »Brockes Passion«, Haydn’s »Die Schöpfung« and Bach’s St Matthew Passion – all with René Jacobs.
