Quirijn de Lang is widely known as an exceptional singing actor in a wide and varied repertoire. Equally successful as Ambroise Thomas’ Hamlet and Fred/Petrucchio in Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate, he is at home in the traditional operatic baritone repertoire as well as the world of operetta and classic musicals.

​

​He was performing as Count Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro and Harry Easter in Street Scene for Opera North, when the Covid-19 lockdown came into effect.

His delayed debut as Fredrik Egerman in Sondheim’s A Little Night Music took place on June 26, 2021 at the Leeds Playhouse and was rewarded with 5 stars across the board. 

​

Together with pianist Eke Simons, Quirijn de Lang will present a song program: De Stille Stad, which describes the turmoil of the 2020 Covid-lockdown. Since the lockdown has affected everyone in society they will bring the program to larger and smaller local venues throughout the Netherlands at the end of August. 

​

Later in the year, he returns to Opera North as Sam in their celebrated production of Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti.
