Donovan Singletary, bass-baritone

  Bass-Baritone Donovan Singletary has been praised by Opera News for his “bright baritone.” He lit up the concert stage in performances with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonic, the Latvian National Opera, the Orchestra Lamourez in Paris, and The Metropolitan Opera for their “Summer in the Parks” concert series.  He made his debut at Carnegie Hall in Mark Hayes’ Te Deum and returned there to sing Fauré’s Requiem and Haydn’s Paukenmesse.  In addition, he traveled to Vienna as a representative for the George London Foundation.  
 
 
Mr. Singletary made his professional debut in 2008 as Hermann in The Tales of Hoffman as a Gerdine Young Artist with Opera Theatre of St. Louis.  He has performed as Pinellino in Gianni Schicchi at the Met, sung Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass and Mozart’s Solemn Vespers at Carnegie Hall, and performed in concerts with the Marina del Rey Symphony Orchestra, Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Aspen Chamber Symphony. 
 
He is a Metropolitan Opera National Council Grand Finals Winner, where he was the youngest male competitor to ever win the competition. He also won the Met's then-General Director, Joseph Volpe Award.   Mr. Donovan is also a graduate of the prestigious Lindemann Young Artist Development Program at The Metropolitan Opera and Juilliard School.
