Tenor Allan Glassman of New York’s Metropolitan Opera

Glassman has thrilled audiences throughout America and Europe for decades with his vibrant timbre and committed interpretations of roles. A regular at New York’s renowned Metropolitan Opera, in 2004,  Glassman triumphed as Herod in a new production of “Salome” starring Karita Mattila and has since been heard in the MET’s productions of “Die Frau Ohne Schatten,” “Boris Godunov,”” The Great Gatsby,” “Carmen,” “Elektra,” “Katya Kabanova,” “The Ghost of Versailles,” Mussorgsky’s “Khovanshchina,” “Wozzeck,” and in 2012, as Red Whiskers in “Billy Budd.” He returns to that vaunted stage this season as the Hunchback Brother in “Die Frau hone Schatten” and will also cover the role of the Captain in “Wozzeck.”

Hailed as the Otello of his generation, in the past few seasons alone , Glassman has performed the role with Opera Company of Philadelphia, Arizona Opera, Palm Beach Opera, Dallas Opera, Des Moines Metro Opera, and at the Chautauqua Opera.

A warm to the big event, listen to Allan Glassman perform his signature role, Othello:
