Gregory Feldmann

Hailed for his “fresh and resonant voice” (Seen and Heard International), American baritone Gregory Feldmann is a rising artist on opera, musical theatre, and recital stages alike. He recently completed his tenure with the International Opernstudio of Opernhaus Zürich, where he appeared as Demetrius in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Moralès in Bizet’s Carmen, and Elviro in Handel’s Serse. Feldmann returns to Zürich in the fall of 2024 for his mainstage guest debut, reprising the role of Elviro in Serse, and making his role debut as Mercutio in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. Feldmann was a Young Artist with the 2022 Glimmerglass Festival, going on to cover Max Detweiler in The Sound of Music, as well as premiering the roles of Cedric and Matteo in Ken Ludwig’s new Rossini pastiche, Tenor Overboard. On the concert stage, Feldmann appeared with the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich’s Matinee Kammermusik series, singing Schubert lieder and Beethoven’s Scottish Folksongs with piano trio in March 2024. That same month, Feldmann partnered with the Zürcher Bach Chor, singing the role of Christus in Bach’s Johannespassion, and the Basler Münsterkantorei, where he sang the baritone solos of Fauré’s Requiem. Feldmann has enjoyed collaborating with the Ballet Zürich, singing the bass solos in Stravinsky’s Les Noces, and covering Il Testo in Monteverdi’s Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda. A passionate recitalist, Feldmann and pianist Lidiia Vodyk presented Memories and Fantasies, featuring Fauré mélodies and Schubert’s Schwanengesang in June 2024 in the Opernhaus Zürich Spiegelsaal. He joined the Ravinia Steans Music Institute in Chicago in the summer of 2024, performing songs by Schubert, Owens, Ives, and Kamala Sankaram. Feldmann enjoys a “luminous” collaboration with pianist Nathaniel LaNasa (Oberon’s Grove). Feldmann and LaNasa’s recitals have confronted national narratives and artistic legacies, with recital projects including Degenerate Music, a contrarian reimagining of the 1938 Entartete Musik exhibition in Düsseldorf. The duo presented Degenerate Music in their sold-out Carnegie Hall debut in 2019. Feldmann and LaNasa have partnered with organizations including the New York Festival of Song (to premiere Iain Bell’s We Two in October 2023), Sparks and Wiry CRIES (to premiere Curtis Stewart’s Do You See the Flag? in 2021), and the Musee d’Orsay and Royaumont Foundation (to produce their first studio release of Faure’s L’horizon chimérique and Ullmann’s Liederbuch des Hafis). The duo took First Prize in the 2021 Gerda Lissner Song/Lieder Competition and the 2019 Joy in Singing International Song Competition. Feldmann holds an Artist Diploma in Opera Studies and a Master of Music degree from the Juilliard School, where he studied with Elizabeth Bishop, Randall Scarlata, and Sanford Sylvan.
