Ks. Joachim Goltz
After completing his studies at the Detmold University of Music, baritone Joachim Goltz was a member of the ensembles at the theaters in Freiberg, Detmold, Würzburg, and Wiesbaden. Since 2014, he has been a member of the ensemble at the National Theater in Mannheim, where he has appeared, among other roles, as Klingsor in Wagner’s “Parsifal,” the Father in Humperdinck’s “Hänsel and Gretel,” and Faninal in Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavalier”.
Following his debuts as Beckmesser in Wagner’s "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" and Golaud in Debussy’s "Pelléas et Mélisande" - both of which were acclaimed by audiences and critics alike - he made his debut in the 2021–22 season 22, he made his debut as Jakob Lenz in the opera of the same name by Wolfgang Rihm (CD recording), directed by Calixto Bieito, as well as in the role of Kaspar in Weber’s "Der Freischütz".
Joachim Goltz is also performing internationally, particularly in the major baritone roles of Richard Wagner. For example, he has appeared as the Flying Dutchman at the Prague State Opera, as Gunther in “Götterdämmerung” at the Teatro Real in Madrid, as Biterolf in “Tannhäuser” in Edinburgh, and as Alberich in “Der Ring des Nibelungen” in Singapore, at the National Theater in Prague, and at the Daegu Opera Festival in South Korea.
He has also been a frequent guest in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Nuremberg, at the Deutsche Oper and Komische Oper Berlin, and in Dortmund, among other places, performing roles such as the Flying Dutchman, Telramund, Klingsor, and Gunther.
In 2025, he was nominated for the FAUST Prize for his interpretation of “Beckmesser” in "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" at the Bonn Opera.
In addition to the major opera roles in his repertoire, operetta is his great passion—whether as Count Danilo in "The Merry Widow", as Eisenstein in "Die Fledermaus", or as Leopold in "The White Horse Inn". Joachim Goltz has collaborated with the following conductors, among others: Christian Thielemann, Stefan Soltesz, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, François-Xaver Roth, Gabriel Feltz, Cornelius Meister, Alexander Soddy, Axel Kober, and Pablo Heras-Casado. In 2020, he was awarded the “Bloomaul” Order, the highest civic honor, by his hometown of Mannheim.
In October 2026, Joachim Goltz was named a Kammersänger at the Mannheim Theater.
