Life

Mario Brell was born in Hamburg and grew up in the Barmbek district. First he began an apprenticeship as a painter and varnisher. With his brothers he joined a male choir, the "Quartet Mozart" in Hamburg-Wandsbek , which still exists today . There he was discovered and promoted by the choirmaster Ernst Haddorp, who finally referred him to Carl Gotthard and his wife Aida Montes-Gotthard, where Brell began his vocal training. In addition to singing training, he took acting and dance lessons, initially continuing to work in construction in his teaching profession. After only two years of training, Mario Brell was hired at Theater Hof , and another year later he successfully passed his final exam as an opera singer at the Hamburg State Opera . Numerous international engagements and guest performances followed.

Mario Brell serves a very extensive repertoire of over 30 operetta and over 80 opera roles and over the years has gone through all genres from operetta to Wagner, from lyrical tenor to heroic tenor.

After a serious heart operation in 1997, he first had to leave the stage and could not sing for a long time. With the support of his family and his autobiography “Drum be thanked”, which he wrote during this time, he fought his way back to life - and onto the stages, where he can still be seen today. Brell has five grown children and now lives with his wife in Falkensee near Berlin.
