His students are among the most celebrated operatic performers today, performing on every major operatic stage, and recording for major record labels. Some are recent winners and finalists at major competitions, such as Operalia, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, and the Francisco Viñas International Singing Competition. They have attended young artists programs at Covent Garden, Bayerische Staatsoper, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Komische Oper Berlin, Theater an der Wien, Oper Frankfurt, and Staatsoper Stuttgart.
