At the Nice Opera he sang the role of Yniold in Pelléas et Mélisande by Claude Debussy .

Christian Fliegner, who today is equally at home as a tenor in opera and oratorio, sang the role of 3rd Squire in Wagner's Parsifal under the direction of Claudio Abbado at the Salzburg Easter Festival in 2002 . In 2011 he sang Mozart's Exsultate, jubilate and the coronation mass as tenor under the direction of Enoch zu Guttenberg .
