From 2000 to 2004, he was a member of the Augsburg Opera Company during which time he sang the roles of Gremin in Eugene Onegin and the title role in Don Quichotte. He soon found himself making numerous guest appearances around the world. In particular, his rendition of Philippe II in the French version of Don Carlos in Darmstadt and of Kaspar in Der Freischütz at the Baden-Baden Festival were both highly praised.

He also made his house debut at the Paris Opera in 2012 as Sparafucile (Rigoletto). That same year, he performed the title role of Boris Godunov in Dortmund. Soon thereafter, he made house debuts at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich (Sparafucile) and the Lyric Opera in Chicago (Pogner).
