#DieMeistersinger #2 have been looking forward to this since the first one last week. Tx3 @LiseDavidsen @paulappleby @antonio_pappano @METOrchestra @MetOperaChorus @MetOpera
Fashionably late as usual with my SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT…and since we already opened Meistersinger this week at the Met, and since it’s Halloween weekend, I’ve also included shots of my costumes from my return to the opera stage…BONUS!
Also check out my updated website (link in bio) which is back after a covid-induced “sabbatical.”

Hey Paul, I didn't get a chance to say hello to you earlier since you were talking to your friend at the stage door, but wanted to congratulation you for the super charming and fun David in the performance. Saw you years ago in SF, and thought highly of your very physical performances and singing, and loved the David and your interactions with Volle and Kranzle. Bravo!
Looking great Paul! 🥰
Gorgeous Photo!
Handsome!
Brilliant performance last night.
Mr. J. thinks you’re looking snazzy.... keep up the good work. DOEHT. 🎶
Very nice. Who shot them? I need new head shots.
Great photo of you.

Lucky to be back in the Big House this week to rehearse for our concert in Central Park @summerstage tomorrow…so great to see my friends in the rehearsal department and the security crew. And to make music in List Hall again with great colleagues and musicians. Everyone in the building is working their hardest to make the coming season a success. Thanks to all of you who have supported the @metopera through thick and thin. It takes faith that the work we do is worth it…thanks all the amazing people who work in this building for keeping it alive and giving us hope for the future. #themetisback #suportthearts #operasingersofinstagram
So happy and relieved to be a Met singer again! Join @willie1525 @bryanwagorn @leahhawkins__ in Central Park tomorrow evening for some fun. Singing fun stuff—I’m leaning into Broadway…Jean Valjean might even show up! • •

Somehow Wu Han and I kept our cool despite the record temperature for our outdoor Winterreise. Big thanks to @schubertclub and their dedicated audience for sticking with us through sticky weather!
When these cool 3D models of composers came out a while back a number of people told me I looked like the young Brahms so I had to make a photo comparison while I still had my 19th century coif. (And I threw in my mustache headshot for good measure...miss that mustache :•|))
Thanks to my friends at @nyfestivalofsong for letting me contribute to The Song of the Day blog this past week. I was grateful for the artistic outlet and hope you listen to the songs about the moon I picked. Link to the blog in my bio. •

Tune it. I loved being David. He might get a little over-enthusiastic at times but he sure loves singing and melodies and training to be a Meistersinger. I’m looking forward to revisiting this classic production, and especially will be thinking with admiration and sadness of the great Walter, Johan Botha who taught me a lot about singing Wagner. RIP JB.
Some good news! @runningamoc has been named the @ojaifestivals Music Director for its 2022 festival!
#TBT to “Girls of the Golden West” at @sfopera. I’m looking forward to reprising the role of Joe Cannon next season with the @laphil!
#TuesdayTune: Take a listen to “Dear Theo”, a song cycle by Ben Moore, released on Delos Music in 2014. I collaborated on this album with Brett Polegato, @sopranosusannaphillips, and Brian Zeger. The album also features two other song cycles by Moore.

Recently announced! I’ll be performing the role of Joe Cannon in John Adams’ “Girls of the Golden West” with the @laphil during their 2020-2021 season exactly one year from today!

Goodbye Madrid! Thank you all the wonderful people who make the @teatro_real such a welcoming and supportive place to work and make opera. I’ll miss my colleagues, the food, and Tamino’s Superman wig. ¡Hasta la próxima! •

Tonight is my last performance of “The Magic Flute” with @teatro_real!
I didn’t get out and about in Madrid as much as I would have liked for this trip to the beautiful @teatro_real, but I’m so glad I got this amazing taste of Spanish culture: ¡Flamenco! Such amazing dancers and musicians! Truly fierce! Thanks to my high school drama teacher #NaomiUnger for taking for coming all the way from Vienna to see my Tamino, and for taking me to @las_tablas •
