“A Major Discovery”
|
As a young tenor, Nicholas Loren sang his first full opera at nineteen and went on to enjoy a lengthy career during which he sang over forty five leading roles with dozens of American opera companies and symphony orchestras. The Washington Post heralded him as "A major discovery" and "the highlight of the evening" in a review of "Sherrill Milnes and Friends", an opera gala featuring a veritable who's who of world famous operatic luminaries.
Other significant debuts made by this distinguished artist include his recital and concert appearances at Carnegie Hall and his critically acclaimed bow with L'Opera Francais de New York at Lincoln Center under the baton of conductor Yves Abel. On the international scene he enjoyed tremendous successes with the Vancouver Opera and the State Theater of Pretoria South Africa. "Nicholas Loren thrilled consistently with emotionally gripping bravura singing" wrote the British magazine Opera. Loren's academic pedigree includes degrees in vocal performance from Oberlin Conservatory and the Yale School of Music where he first began fulfilling his passion for teaching as a teacher's assistant. During his 25 plus years in New York City he maintained a private studio of diverse singers, assisting classical and Broadway performers alike when his performance schedule permitted. Included among his notable former students are the indomitable Marni Nixon and international operatic mezzo soprano Eugenie Grunewald. |
