I’m very excited to reprise the role of Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte. This time at what has become one of my home companies, @savannahvoicefestival 💕🥳🎉🎶
This opera means so much to me, as it was the second full opera I starred in. I am thrilled to be part of this production with so many of my friends/colleagues, conducted by the erudite, @mobisantz

I am so thrilled to be the inaugural recipient of the 2026 Carlisle Floyd Prize. I can't wait for the June 20th Carnegie Hall concert celebrating Carlisle Floyd's legacy, and his centennial.

Excited for year 2 in Chicago. Spring is here and so is my 2026/2027 announcement!
I am beyond grateful to the Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center, @lyricopera , @chicagosymphony , @civicorchestra for this variety of opportunities! Stay tuned; more to come! 👀 #bassbaritone #operasingersofinstagram #chicagolife #singloudsingproud
Happy one year plus (dating anniversary) my love, @rachs_front_valle ❤️
Blessed beyond words for the life we’ve shared this past year! Many cities, nonstop adventures, late nights that turned into early mornings, enormous joy, and real loss. We’ve celebrated, we’ve grieved, and we’ve kept moving forward together, holding space for each other through it all. Thank you for being my partner in every sense. I wouldn’t trade a single step of this journey. Here’s to more life, more love, and for the bright future ahead. Te amo🥂✨
From gala tables to pool tables and more🥂✨🏈🎶
So grateful to celebrate the Ryan Opera Center's yearly gala, Fête du Soleil, and this extraordinary community, right on the heels of my debut at @lyricopera in Salome. This month, I am celebrating so many nights full of joy, elegance, laughter, and the people who make every day a welcome adventure.

I was so thrilled to be invited to join @operaboxscore this past week to talk about two of my great passions, opera and sports. With this Sunday being the Super Bowl, I gave a couple of my thoughts about the Patriots vs. Seahawks matchup, but many other interesting topics were discussed. @olivobampo and @heldenkovich sure know how to entertain! If you want to take a listen to this episode of the podcast, I am posting the Spotify link in my bio and in my story (but you can also listen on any of your favorite podcast streaming services).
🌟 A bonus if you tune in: hear a snippet from an interview Oliver scored with the great mezzo-soprano @gravesmontgomery 🏆
