Metropolitan Opera | Rosenkavalier
Markus Eiche made an excellent debut as Herr von Faninal, Sophie’s overbearing father, with a powerful, granite baritone.

The supporting cast was strong, including Markus Eiche, a sturdy baritone in his Met debut as Faninal New York Times, Dec 16th, 2019, Anthony Tommasini
In the character of Faninal, Markus Eiche made a notable debut at the Met. His Faninal’s initial behavior coupled with his potent and aggressive vocalism toward his daughter mirrored Ochs’ behavior; one felt him dramatically as a double for Ochs, thus emphasizing the stakes for the young singers. But again, his big payoff at the end of the opera was to get to throw more vitriol in the third act, this time at Ochs’ reprehensible behavior. He did manage to draw a number of laughs from his panic attacks in both acts.
