Werner Van Mechelen is a Belgian bass-baritone. His opera repertoire extends from the Baroque to great Mozartian roles. Apart from his special focus on Wagner and Richard Strauss, Van Mechelen is particularly drawn to Lieder, with a repertoire that includes not only the great song cycles but also repertoire by less known composers.
In concert he has performed in Messiah, The Creation, Carmina Burana, St John Passion and in Peter Benoit’s Lucifer. Van Mechelen studied at the Lemmens Institute at Leuven with Roland Bufkens. He has participated in several prestigious singing competitions and gained several international prizes.
