Matthew Worth, baritone February 11, 2013

Hailed by The New York Times for a voice that is “fully powered and persuasively expressive,” Matthew Worth has enjoyed numerous successes on both the operatic and concert stages. Among the most recent were performances with Lyric Opera of Chicago as Harlekin in Ariadne auf Naxos, with Opera Memphis as Malatesta in Don Pasquale, and with the Minnesota Opera as Guglielmo in Cosi fan tutte. Worth is a 2001 graduate of the University of Richmond and recently returned to the Virginia Opera to perform the title role in Philip Glass’ Orphée.

The evening’s performance will include a delightful and compelling recital of songs by 20th century American composers including Barber, Blitzstein, and Bernstein.
