Johannes Kammler as Figaro was the star of this production. He commanded the stage with his rich baritone combined with his comedic talents which were apparent from the moment he cycled onto the set in bowler hat and red socks. By the time he reached the climax of his opening aria, Largo al factotum, he had the audience in the palm of his hand. He was a splendid Figaro. His height was used to full advantage – all those la, la, la, la, la’s in the first aria were funnier than ever coming from such a tall man – and also by positioning him in relation to the shorter actors in humorous ways throughout the production.
Johannes Kammler was a rambunctious Figaro, energetic in both acting and singing. His “Largo al factotum” was delivered with flair and seemed an easy fit for his hearty, even-toned baritone.

[...] I was very impressed by Johannes Kammler’s Ruggiero. His is a handsome voice that carries well and is absolutely even from top to bottom. His diction is also impressive.
Das technisch exzellent beherrschte, nuancenreiche, weit tragende Spektrum von Kammlers Bariton erinnert an die intellektuell eingesetzte Ausdrucksintensität eines Fischer-Dieskaus, glücklicherweise allerdings ohne dessen latent "fahlen" Unterton.
Faszinierend, wie sensibel Kammler den literarischen Text bis ins Detail durchdrungen zum musikalischen Text werden lässt, was seiner Interpretation anrührende Authentizität verleiht.
Johannes Kammler ist ein Name, den man im Auge behalten sollte.
