Kor-Jan Dusseljee opened the season 2009/10 with a series of Otello-performances at Semperoper Dresden, which were received with great acclaim.

He was furthermore celebrated by an enthusiastic audience at Komische Oper Berlin, where he debuted in the role of Hermann in the new production of The Queen of Spades in January 2009. One of the most renowned German newspapers, the Berliner Morgenpost, wrote: “The part of Hermann is truly murderous. Kor-Jan Dusseljee sang it with an unfailingly solid tenor-voice.” He could be heard in the same role then in spring 2009 at Teatro Regio Torino, where he was immediately reinvited for Fidelio.

In July 2009 Kor-Jan Dusseljee sang Beethoven’s Symphony N° 9 with the NDR Sinfonieorchester Hamburg under the baton of Christoph von Dohnanyi at the TV-broadcasted opening-concert of the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival.

At the beginning of 2010, the singer returns with Kurt Weill’s Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and The Queen of Spades to Komische Oper Berlin. Afterwards, he can be heard with Janacek’s Glagolitical Mass with the Orchestra Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. At the end of this season, he will sing Florestan in Braunschweig.

Riccardo Chailly invited Kor-Jan Dusseljee for four TV New-Years Concerts 2011 (Beethoven’s Symphony N° 9) with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig.

In past seasons, Kor-Jan Dusseljee debuted successfully among other things as Lohengrin, Don Alvaro (La Forza del Destino), Prince (Rusalka) and Hoffmann in Braunschweig, as Radames in Aachen, as Tambourmajor in Essen and as Max (Freischütz) at Komische Oper Berlin.

The successful Dutch tenor collaborated with several renowned conductors such as Arnold Östman, Hartmut Haenchen, Kenneth Montgomery, Kirill Petrenko, Silvio Varviso and Valery Gergiev, and sang with important orchestras such as Concertgebouworkest Amsterdam, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden and Bamberger Symphoniker.

Kor-Jan Dusseljee studied in the Netherlands at the Academy of Utrecht in the class of German baritone Udo Reinemann, where he graduated in 1988 "cum laude". He attended masterclasses of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Hartmut Höll and Mitsuko Shirai. In 1987 he was laureate of the 3rd International Singers’ Competition in Clermont-Ferrand, which led him to several concert-invitations in France (Festival de Besançon), the Netherlands (Radio and Television), Finland (Savonlinna Festival), Switzerland and Germany.
