His career took on an international dimension after he performed the role of Alieia at the Wiener Festwochen in 2007. Soon thereafter he made his first appearances in the same production at the Holland Festival, the Aix Festival and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. He also sang the roles of Janek (The Makropulos Affair) at Milan’s La Scala and Andrès (Wozzeck) at the Wiener Festwochen.

In 2015, he performed at Dresden’s Semperoper for the first time (playing Dr Stilblüte in Peter Ronnefeld’s Nachtausgabe) and was invited back the following season to sing in Ali N. Aski’s The Killer in me is the killer in you my love (Gerber) and Mischa Spoliansky’s Alles Schwindel (Tonio). His extensive repertoire ranges from the baroque to the contemporary and includes roles like Sesto (Giulio Cesare), Tamino (The Magic Flute), Belmonte (The Abduction from the Seraglio), Ferrando (Così fan tutte), Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni) and Alfred (Die Fledermaus). Eric Stoklossa also performs in concert: Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion with Dennis Russell Davies, Bach’s Mass in B Minor with Helmut Rilling, Haydn’s The Creation with Adam Fischer, The Christmas Oratorio with Salvador Mas Conde, and Dvořák’s Stabat Mater at the Feldkirch Festival.
