With his warm timbre and versatile stage presence, Swedish bass-baritone Eric Ander has already performed on some of Europe’s top opera and concert stages. In 2021 he made his debut at Oper Frankfurt in the world premiere of Lucia Ronchetti’s Inferno. 2019 included his debut as Reinmar von Zweter in Tannhäuser at the Dutch National Opera and following this, a return to the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence in Andrea Breth’s production of Jakob Lenz. With this production (available on DVD) he already performed in 2015 at Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie and 2017 at Staatsoper Berlin. From 2014-2016 Eric Ander was a young artist at the Staatsoper Stuttgart, gaining important experience in several roles and covers. Collaborations with directors like Christof Loy, Christoph Marthaler, Kirill Serebrennikov and Jossi Wieler have formed him as an artist and have influenced his view on opera as an art form.

Performances in the 2023/2024 season include the role of the Sprecher in a concert performance and cd recording of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte at the Opera-Théâtre de Clermont-Ferrand, Bach's St. John Passion in the Stiftskirche Stuttgart, as well as one of the solo parts in the world premiere of James Wood's Apokalypsis with Collegium Vocale Gent at the Gent Festival and at the Muziekgebouw aan t’IJ in Amsterdam.

In July 2024 Eric Ander makes his debut at the Nationaltheater Mannheim as Masetto in Don Giovanni.
