Biography

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 continues with the International Opera Studio with Opernhaus Zürich for the 2023-24 season, where he will appear in Verdí's Macbeth, Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, Giordano’s Andrea Chenier, and take on the roles of Demetrius in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Moralès in Bizet’s Carmen. 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 will appear in March 2024 with the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich's Matinee Kammermusik series, singing Schubert lieder and Beethoven’s Scottish Folksongs with piano trio. He joined the Baseler Münsterkantorei in spring 2024 to sing the baritone solos of Fauré’s Requiem. In January 2024, Feldmann joined the Ballett Zürich in Stravinsky’s Les Noces. He made his Carnegie Hall concert debut in November 2018 with MasterVoices, singing the Bass I solo in Handel's Israel in Egypt under Ted Sperling.

A passionate recitalist, Feldmann made his Zürich recital debut with pianist Elaine Fukunaga and Klassifest in June 2023, presenting Time as enemy, time as friend, a lyrical reflection on one’s relationship to time’s movement. 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.
