Tenor Daniel Juárez is becoming well known to New England opera audiences, having appeared in the past few seasons with Connecticut Lyric Opera, MetroWest Opera, Western Connecticut State University Opera Studio, and in various recital and concert venues throughout the region. His recent operatic credits include the title role in Gounod’s Faust, Rodolfo in Puccini’s La Bohème, The Italian Singer in Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier, Pinkerton in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, and Erik in Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman. Daniel has also been featured as the tenor soloist in a number of oratorio and concert performances, including Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Requiem and Vesperae Solennes de Confessore, J.S. Bach’s Magnificat, Ariel Ramirez’ Misa Criolla, Heinrich Schütz’ Sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreuz, and Theodore Dubois’ Seven Last Words of Christ. Daniel is a graduate of the Yale University School of Music, a former Minnesota Opera Studio Artist, and onetime finalist in the Southwest Region Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions. He makes his home in New Haven with his wife and two sons. A bass vocalist of increasing demand who towers at an imposing and athletic 6’10”, Andrew Potter is a true Basso who has been welcomed by audiences and critics across the country for a larger-than-life stage presence with a voice to match. His athleticism and physicality on stage, along with his dramatic sense and character depiction, are not the only things to have earned him the praise of critics nationwide. Andrew has successfully performed roles spanning from sonorous profundo roles like Osmin in Die Entführung, to much more lyrical Bass-Baritone roles such as Escamillo in Bizet’s Carmen; a vocal range granting incredibly rare versatility make him stand out among the growing community of low voices. In the early part of his career, Andrew was cast in mainstage roles at several prestigious programs such as Des Moines Metro Opera, St. Petersburg Emerging Artists, Opera Roanoke Apprentice Artists, and the Tyler Young Artist Program. He has since performed across the country proficiently demonstrating the vocal depth and sonority to sing such roles as Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte, the range and physicality to perform buffo roles like Don Bartolo in Il barbiere di Siviglia and Don Alfonso in Così fan tutte; and the flexibility and agility to sing challenging Handelian roles including Zoroastro in Orlando, Ariodate in Serse, and Argante in Rinaldo. The season ahead promises exciting role debuts for Andrew, such as Melchtal (Guilliaume Tell), Il Commendatore (Don Giovanni), Varlaam (Boris Godunov), Capitán (Florencia en el Amazonas), and Sparafucile (Rigoletto). When this Barihunk™ isn’t on stage portraying the most sinister of villains, hilarious antagonists, or heartbroken royalties, he can most often be found mountain climbing among some of the nation’s most challenging peaks or enjoying any number of outdoor sports.
