"Die Zauberflöte"

The Papageno of Paul Armin Edelmann, son of the legendary baritone Otto Edelmann, was the sole saving grace of the performance. The younger Edelmann´s voice has a beautiful sheen, like a bass clarinet, and he uses it well.

New York City - Recital - ACF New York:

…..Paul Armin Edelmann, a “ baritenor” – aptly for his flourishing operetta career – with the ability to float high – lying phrases.
He boasts sterling diction and a forthrightly approach to text.
Paul A. Edelmann sang Wolf (Three Songs to Poems by Michelangelo”, enjoyably done) and Schubert: “ Musensohn” blended youthful exuberance and fresh tone with particular aptness.
...his is a genuinely attractive voice; given his enthusiasm and charm, one sees why Frankfurt and San Diego have signed him for Papageno.

"Die Zauberflöte" (W.A. Mozart), WIENER STAATSOPER

Paul Armin Edelmann is a very Viennese Papageno, cute and with a beautiful voice, and shows how to be entertaining without overdoing it.
Die Presse


The Vienna State Opera has a new Papageno - Paul Armin Edelmann made a brilliant debut: He captured the audience with his well-trained, resonant voice that was up to any transformation, and his infectious acting talent made his performance thoroughly entertaining without ever becoming pushy. We should watch this charismatic artist for what he will be up to next.

Especially the artist playing Papageno caused a bit of a stir - it was Paul Armin Edelmann (son of the famous Otto Edelmann) making his debut at the State Opera. And a very successful debut it was, too, as Edelmann not only possesses a beautiful baritone voice, but is also a highly talented comedy actor.
