Die Soldaten
In 1974, Cochran first sang at Covent Garden, as Laca in Janáček's "Jenůfa", conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras. In 1975, he performed the title role of Wagner's "Lohengrin" at the New Orleans Opera, and, in 1977, sang in Janáček's "Katya Kabanova" at San Francisco, alongside Elisabeth Söderström, Chester Ludgin and Susanne Marsee. He returned to that company in 1997, for Herod in "Salome" by Richard Strauss. For the Opera Company of Boston, the tenor appeared in Zimmermann's "Die Soldaten" as Desportes in 1982 and in Janáček's "The Makropoulos Case" in 1986, both conducted and directed by Sarah Caldwell.
