Georg Poplutz studied music and English (teacher training) at the universities of Münster and Dortmund . He then trained as a singer at the Frankfurt Music Academy with Berthold Possemeyer and at the Cologne University of Music and Dance with Christoph Prégardien . He soon made a name for himself in the field of early music ; his operatic debut was in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea at the Stadttheater Gießen . Carol Meyer-Bruetting has been his vocal coach for several years.
