Günes Gürle, who comes from Turkey, has been a member of the ensemble at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein for many years. He was named “Best Male Singer” at the Andante Classic Music Awards 2013 for his interpretation of Pollux (Rameau's “Castor et Pollux”) at the Düsseldorf Opera House.

Guest engagements have taken him to the Vienna Festival, the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, the Vlaamse Opera in Antwerp, the Theater Basel, Theater Bern, Den Norske Opera in Oslo, Opéra National du Rhin in Strasbourg, Opéra Royal de Versailles, Grand-Théâtre de Genève, Musiktheater an der Wien, and Aalto Musiktheater in Essen, as well as the Münchener Rundfunkorchester
In the 2025/26 season, Günes Gürle will perform as director (Donizetti's “Prima la Mamma!”), Geppetto/Headmistress/Teacher (Schötz & Meinhold's “Pinocchio”) and once again as Don Magnifico (Rossini's “La Cenerentola”), Zuniga (Bizet's “Carmen”), Lazar Wolf (Bock's “Anatevka”) and Robert (“Comedian Harmonists - Best of”).
