Michael Dean, bass-baritone...

b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up September 2012 American bass-baritone Michael Dean is in demand worldwide in both concert and operatic repertoire, appearing with many of the leading opera houses and orchestras of the U.S. and Europe. The New York Times lauded his "strong appealing bass-baritone," while the San Jose Mercury News considered him "the standout, his voice a penetrating wake-up call." He has made frequent appearances at New York City Opera, where he has performed the title role in The Marriage of Figaro, Leporello in Don Giovanni, George in Of Mice and Men, and Papageno in The Magic Flute. Recent appearances have also included Jason McFarlane in the "Live From Lincoln Center" broadcast of Lizzie Borden; the title role in Don Giovanni and Silva in Ernani at the Landestheater in Linz, Austria; Figaro in Antwerp, Belgium, Of Mice and Men at Arizona Opera, and Colline in La Bohème in Strasbourg and Berlin. Dean has also received critical praise for his numerous recordings of baroque opera, including Agrippina, Ottone, Dido and Aeneas, Radamisto, Giustino, and Serse. Recent and upcoming appearances include Messiah with the Nashville Symphony and I Musici de Montreal, Mozart’s Requiem with the Modesto Symphony and Louisiana Philharmonic as well as the role of Gregorio in Roméo et Juliette with the Los Angeles Opera. Highlights of his 2010/11 season included appearances with the Calgary Philharmonic, Pacific Symphony and Louisiana Philharmonic, all in Messiah, as well as a Mozart Requiem with Quad City Symphony and Mercury Baroque in Houston and Missa Solemnis with Richmond Symphony. Dean’s 2009/10 season is filled with Messiah performances, among others with the Pittsburgh Symphony, Baltimore Symphony and Alabama Symphony. His 2008/09 season continued the close collaboration forged with conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto the season before, this time in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Handel’s Messiah with the Louisiana Philharmonic, Creation with the Orquesta Sinfonica National de Mexico, and Lord Nelson Mass with the Huntsville Symphony. He also sang St. Matthew Passion with the Richmond Symphony as well as Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with Quad City Symphony. During season 2007/08, Dean returned to the Pittsburgh Symphony for Messiah, a work he later repeated in his debut with the Houston Symphony and Monterey Symphony, and sang both Haydn’s Creation and the Brahms Requiem with the Louisiana Philharmonic under Carlos Miguel Prieto, with whom he also appeared at the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería, Mexico. Dean’s other recent orchestral highlights include his debut with the New York Philharmonic in the world premiere of Aaron Kernis’ Garden Of Light, conducted by Kurt Masur, returning the following year for Street Scene, conducted by Leonard Slatkin, Handel’s Alexander’s Feast with Choral Arts Society of Washington at the Kennedy Center, Beethoven Symphony No. 9 with Omaha Symphony, Mozart Requiem with Oregon Symphony and Amarillo Symphony, Rossini Stabat Mater with Sacramento Choral Society and Messiah with the Baltimore Symphony. He also sang Bach's St. Matthew Passion at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Handel's Messiah with the San Antonio Symphony, Haydn's Creation in Sarasota, and Mozart's Requiem with the Buffalo Philharmonic. Previously he appeared with Handel's Messiah at Carnegie Hall, Haydn's Creation at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.; Bach’s Magnificat with the Toronto Symphony; Carmen with the Buffalo Philharmonic, and an evening of Bach Cantatas at Disney Hall with Helmut Rilling conducting the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
