Altus
Der Altus arbeitete seit 1981 mit Marianne Fischer-Kupfer, die seine Begabung für das männliche Altfach entdeckte, förderte und ausbildete. Seit 1983 gehört er zum Ensemble der Komischen Oper Berlin und gestaltete an diesem Hause ein umfangreiches Repertoire. So sang er u. a. die Titelpartien in Händels Giustino und Julius Caesar in Ägypten, in Glucks Orpheus und Eurydike und den Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus. Sein internationaler Karrierestart begann 1985 an der Hamburgischen Staatsoper. Es folgten Einladungen u. a. an die Wiener Volksoper und Staatsoper, an die Opéra National de Paris, die Covent Garden Opera London und mehrfach an die Metropolitan Opera New York. Konzertreisen und Operngastspiele führten ihn über die europäischen Musikzentren hinaus bis nach Japan und Amerika. Als erster deutscher Sänger gestaltete er einen Liederabend in der Schatzkammer des Kreml zu Moskau. 1994 wurde er zum Berliner Kammersänger ernannt. Jochen Kowalski spielte zahlreiche CDs ein, und einige seiner wichtigsten Partien sind auf Video bzw. DVD festgehalten. In der Spielzeit 2005/06 wird Jochen Kowalski an der Komischen Oper Berlin u. a. als Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus zu erleben sein.
