Clemens Alexander Frank
Born in Wiener Neustadt, Clemens Alexander Frank has been studying voice at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna since fall 2019 in the class of a.o. Univ. Prof. Martin Vacha, where he graduated with honors from the bachelor’s program in fall 2023 and has started the master’s program “Vocal Performance” in the Opera class of C.U. Meier and from March 2024 in the Lied class of Florian Boesch.
Clemens Frank has been able to gain a large amount of solo stage experience in a wide variety of genres in recent years. His most recent engagements have taken him to the “SWR Junge Opernstars 2024” as well as the Kammeroper in Munich as the Conte in Mozart’s “Le nozze di Figaro“.
In his home country, too, besides a large number of smaller roles and lively concert activity, he was already able to build up a broad repertoire of major, relevant roles with his debuts as Papageno at the Klassik.Klang Festival 2022 in Berndorf under the direction of KS Daniela Fally, and, later that year, in the title role in Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin” at the Schönbrunn Palace Theater. With the role of Dr. Falke in “Die Fledermaus” in April 2023 and shortly thereafter in Offenbach’s “Orpheus in der Unterwelt” at the Pramtaler Sommeroperette, he also made his first debut in operetta, which he has since grown particularly fond of. Later that year he returned to the Schönbrunn Palace Theater as Gran Sacerdote in Mozart’s “Idomeneo“, directed by Michael Sturminger and conducted by C.U. Meier.
Clemens A. Frank is a finalist of the “SWR Junge Opernstars 2024 – Emmerich Smola Förderpreis“, a laureate of the Lions Music Award Austria and a recipient of a performance scholarship from the Anny Felbermayr Fund.
