People in the Lower Saxony region of Germany were wondering who the handsome face was adorning ads for the Staatstheater Braunschweig. Reporter Alkmini Laucke figured out that it was ensemble member Malter Roesner and promptly invited him out for an interview and photo shoot with Jens Bartels from JayBe Photography.

In the interview, which you can read in German online, he reveals that his 10 year stint at the Staatstheater Braunschweig is coming to an end after this season. He'll be freelancing and moving to Vienna (any General Directors or Artistic Administrators out there should take note - this charismatic singer is available for casting!).

He also discusses partaking in martial arts and yoga to find balance in his life, and he showed up for his interview on his bicycle. Clearly, he has the barihunk routine down to an art.

The ads, it turns out, are for the Staatstheater Braunschweig's annual gala, which is themed "Ein Maskenball" (A masked ball). The two night affair will be held in Braunschweigs Burgplatz on January 30 and 31. The event will include music and dancing and tickets are available online.
