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).
