Introducing Sir Donald Runnicles! More pictures & videos of our new Chief Conductor can be found here.
Sir Donald Runnicles has been Chief Conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic since the start of the 2025/26 season. In his first Dresden season, he will be presenting Strauss's "Elektra" in concert, conducting concerts at the British Festival, and leading the orchestra on a tour of Asia, to name just a few projects. The Scotsman will also remain General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin until mid-2026. He stands for the principle of quality over quantity and has thus established close artistic ties with renowned institutions worldwide, both in the opera pit and on the concert podium.
 

Mezzo-soprano Karis Tucker grew up in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, as the daughter of American parents and later went to study in Cincinnati, USA, where she also gained her first stage experience. From 2019 to 2022, the multi-award-winning singer was a scholarship holder at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, where she has had a permanent engagement since 2022/23. In early 2026, she made her debut there as Eboli in "Don Carlo", and she currently also sings Suzuki in "Madama Butterfly" and Prince Orlofsky in "Die Fledermaus", among others.
 

Born in the French Basque Country in 1990, Thomas Ospital was appointed Titular Organist of the great organ at Saint-Eustache in Paris in 2015. As a concert organist, chamber musician and soloist with orchestras, he travels throughout Europe and has also performed in Australia and the USA. He is a professor at the Paris Conservatoire and gives masterclasses in literature performance and improvisation. The latter art form plays an important role in his musical practice and is also used in his accompaniment of silent films.

Top class! That is the claim of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra stands for concerts at the highest artistic level, musical education for all ages and looking beyond the musical horizon. Guest performances on almost every continent and collaborations with guests from all over the world have established the reputation of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra in the international classical music world.
