He will appear as Alfred (Die Fledermaus) under Mark Minkowski at the Bremen Music Festival as well as at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Valencia and other tour stops. He will return to the Staatsoper Berlin as the tenor in Christian Spuck's ballet Winterreise. Magnus Dietrich has been a member of the Frankfurt Opera ensemble since the 2023/24 season, where he can be seen in the new season as Count Hohenzollern in the new production of Henze's Der Prinz von Homburg, as Emilio in Handel’s Partenope, as Leander in Nielsen's Maskerade and in Der Rosenkavalier. In concert, he will perform the St John Passion with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and take part in the St Matthew Passion with the Munich Bach Choir and Orchestra. In Frankfurt, he will sing Mendelssohn's Lobgesang Symphony under the direction of Thomas Guggeis. 

“Following a string of awe-inspiring Met performances, soprano Lise Davidsen stars as Leonore, who risks everything to save her husband from the clutches of tyranny. Tenor David Butt Philip is the political prisoner Florestan, sharing the stage with bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny as the villainous Don Pizarro, veteran bass René Pape as the jailer Rocco, and soprano Ying Fang and tenor Magnus Dietrich, in his company debut, as the young Marzelline and Jaquino. Bass Stephen Milling sings the principled Don Fernando, and Susanna Mälkki conducts the Met’s striking production, which finds modern-day parallels in Beethoven’s stirring paean to freedom. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning „Live in HD“ series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.“ Source: The Met Opera.
