BASS-BARITONE
NICHOLAS BROWNLEE
Bass-baritone Nicholas Brownlee has been described as “charismatic and charming” (New York Times) with a “handsome mahogany tone” and a “starry future in store” (The New Yorker).
This season he returns as a member of the ensemble at Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe where he will be heard in new productions of Don Giovanni (Leporello), Faust (Mephistopheles), Der Freischütz (Kaspar) and Les contes d’Hoffmann (Villains), as well as revivals of Simon Boccanegra (Paolo) and Anna Bolena (Enrico VIII). In addition to ensemble assignments, this season also sees Brownlee’s return to LA Opera for Barrie Kosky's new production of La Bohème and his highly
anticipated debut at Opera Theater of St. Louis as Olin Blitch in a new production of Susannah directed by Patricia Racette. He also returns to the U.S. for concerts throughout the country as a member of the Columbia Artist’s Bel Canto Trio.
NICHOLAS BROWNLEE
"A handsome mahogany tone."
“The young bass-baritone Nicholas Brownlee stood out in the smaller role of the Porter, filling the auditorium with a handsome mahogany tone. On the 1993 recording, this part was sung by the young René Pape; a similarly starry future may be in store for Brownlee.”
