He is a laureate of the Internationalen Gesangswettbewerbs der Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg (2013); received the Belcanto Promotional Award Wernigerode (2015), and won 2nd Prize at the Mozart-Wettbewerb Hamburg (2016). He was also supported by the mArts-Programm, funded by the Sächsischen Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst, from 2019 to 2020.
Timo Rößner was praised by the professional magazine Opernglas for his "excellent diction and warm, lyrical timbre." In addition to numerous productions with the Theaterakademie Hamburg (including roles such as Pygmalion in F. von Suppé's The Beautiful Galathee, Don Basilio in W.A. Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro and Camille de Rosillon in F. Lehár's Operetta The Merry Widow), Timo Rößner's first guest engagements took him to the Kiel Opera (March-May 2011: Barigoule in P. Viardot's Cendrillon, September 2013-June 2014: Mercure in J. Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers), the Hebbel am Ufer Theater (2011: Duval in F. Schubert's Der four-year post) and the Theater Lüneburg (2014: Monostatos in W.A. Mozart's Die Zauberflöte). From 2015-2017, he was a permanent member of the ensemble at the Lüneburg Theater, where he played roles such as Jaquino in L.v. Beethoven's Fidelio, Beppe / Arlecchino in R. Leoncavallo's Pagliacci and Cassio in G. Verdi's Otello and knew how to inspire. He was also allowed to design the parts of Tassilo in E. Kálmán's Countess Mariza, Adam in C. Zeller's The Bird Merchant and Fenton in O. Nicolai's The Merry Wives of Windsor in semi-scenic performances . He could also be seen in children's versions as Don Ramiro in G. Rossini's La Cenerentola and Oronte (George Frideric Handel's Alcina.
At the start of the 2017-2018 season, Timo Rößner switched to the ensemble of the Thuringia Theater and Philharmonic Orchestra (Landestheater Altenburg and Gera) and, with great enthusiasm, designed roles such as Pedrillo in W.A. Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Fatty, the authorized officer in K. Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, Wenceslaus in B. Smetana's The Bartered Bride and Count Stanislaus in C. Zeller's The Bird Merchant. He also recently sang Hans in L. Jessel's Das Schwarzwaldmädel and Pedrillo in W.A. Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the Meininger Staatstheater. Other permanent and guest engagements have taken him to the Deutsche Nationaltheater Weimar, Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg (June-August 2013), and the opera houses in Halle (Saale), Lübeck, Görlitz, Annaberg-Buchholz, and Chemnitz (roles including Adam, Andres, Camille de Rosillon, Cassio, Hans, Nemorino, Pedrillo, and the Helmsman). Several well-known directors such as Philipp Himmelmann, Roland Schwab, Matthias Oldag, Michael Sturm, Hinrich Horstkotte, Kay Kuntze, Kobie van Rensburg and Michiel Dijkema were responsible for this.
In the concert field, Timo Rößner was able to develop a wide repertoire from the Renaissance to the modern era. With his "particularly versatile voice, [Rößner] switches effortlessly between dramatic and lyrical moments," as the Sächsische Zeitung attested after a performance of J.S. Bach's Johannes-Passion BWV 245. First of all, here are the Evangelist parts in J.S. Bach's Weihnachts-Oratorium BWV 248, Johannes-Passion BWV 245 and Matthäus-Passion BWV 244, which he always knows to create vividly and visually. Other works such as George Frideric Handel's Messiah ", W.A. Mozart's Requiem, J. Haydn's Creation, The Seasons, and Stabat Mater belong to his repertoire as well as works by C. Orff (Catulli Carmina), Igor Stravinsky (Les Noces), G. Rossini (Petite Messe solennelle), and G. Verdi (Messa da Requiem).
Collaborations with contemporary composers such as Antonis Adamopoulos, Thomas Dorsch, Oliver Ostermann, Benjamin Scheuer, Stephan Peiffer, and Ursula Mamlok have shaped his musical career.
Timo Rößner has already sung with orchestras such as the Hamburger Symphoniker, Hamburger Barockorchester, Lüneburg Symphony Orchestra, Barockorchester L'arpa festante, Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra, Kiel Philharmonic Orchestra, Hamburger Camerata, Central German Philharmonic Orchestra, Meininger Hofkapelle and Altenburg Philharmonic Orchestra -Gera.
