Hall |
Young American Tenor Adam Hall is a talent on the brink of a stunning career. His warm and sweet voice with it’s soaring top register coupled with his refined musicianship make him the perfect candidate for the French and Bel Canto repertoire. In early 2009 Mr. Hall performed Ernesto in Don Pasquale and Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore with Bel Cantanti Opera, a company with which he debuted in 2008 as Belmonte in Die Entführung aus dem Serail. Mr. Hall originated the role of Jimmy, which was written specifically for his voice, in the new John Musto opera "Later the Same Evening," which made its world premiere at the Smithsonian's National Gallery of Art in 2007. In addition, Mr. Hall's repertoire of performed roles includes Ferrando in Così fan tutte, Tamino in Die Zauberflöte, and both Dino and Luigi in Willam Bolcom's "A Wedding." Equally at home on the concert stage, Mr. Hall was the tenor soloist in Orff’s Carmina Burana for Choralis in 2004. He has since performed as the soloist in many other choral works, including Respighi's Laud to the Nativity, Handel's Messiah, Hadyn's Creation, Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem, Berstein's Chichester Psalms, and Rene Clausen's A New Creation. A recipient of an Encouragement Award from the Marilyn Horne Foundation, Adam Hall was accepted to The Music Academy of the West where he studied and worked with Marilyn Horne and Warren Jones. At Opera Lafayette he is enrolled as a young artist and studying the roles of Artemidore and Le Chevalier Danois in Gluck's Armide. Mr. Hall has had the opportunity to work and collaborate with Maestros Placido Domingo and Heinz Fricke and stage directors Lotfi Mansouri and Leon Major. Adam Hall’s upcoming engagements in 2009 include the lead tenor
role in the premiere of a new chamber opera composed by Phillip Hagemann
with The Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra in November, and the role of Rinuccio
in Gianni Schicchi at The George Washington University in December. Mr.
Hall will also be performing the lead tenor role in a new chamber opera
by Maurice Saylor in November, as well as performing in Gluck's Armide
with Opera Lafayette at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and Rose
Hall in New York City. |
