Hailed for his "hearty, luxurious baritone" (Musical America), Gregory Feldmann is a rising artist on opera and recital stages alike. This summer, Feldmann makes his role debut in the title role of Ambroise Thomas' Hamlet at the Buxton International Festival in the UK. He will reprise the role of Demetrius in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream with the Blackwater Valley Opera Festival in Lismore, Ireland in May 2025. Earlier this year, Feldmann returned to Opernhaus Zürich to make his guest debut as Elviro in Handel's Serse, as well as his role debut as Mercutio in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette. Feldmann was a member of Opernhaus Zürich's International Opera Studio from 2022-24. Highlights include appearances as Moralès in Bizet's Carmen, Demetrius in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and a Lord in Sondheim's Sweeney Todd

On the concert stage, Feldmann continues his collaboration with Annedore Neufeld and the Zürcher Bach Chor, making his debut in the Grosse-Saal of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich singing in Schubert's Missa Solemnis. He will join the Sequoia Symphony Orchestra for Haydn's Creation in April 2025. In January 2024, Feldmann appeared with the Ballett Zürich in Timekeepers, singing the bass solo in Stravinsky's Les Noces.  

A passionate recitalist, Feldmann Feldmann enjoys a "luminous" partnership with pianist Nathaniel LaNasa (Oberon's Grove). Feldmann and LaNasa’s recitals have confronted national narratives and artistic legacies, with recital projects including Degenerate Music, a contrarian reimagining of the 1938 Entartete Musik exhibition in Düsseldorf. The duo presented Degenerate Music in their sold-out Carnegie Hall debut in 2019. Their most recent project, American Icons, partnered with oral historian Cynthia Tobar to explore national monuments and the communities living in their shadows. American Icons saw the premieres of songs by Shawn Chang, Molly Joyce, Matthew Ricketts, and Jorell Williams. The duo's next program, the way back, will be presented in Buxton, England in June as part of the Buxton International Festival.

Feldmann and LaNasa have partnered with organizations including the New York Festival of Song (to premiere Iain Bell’s We Two in October 2023), Sparks and Wiry CRIES (to premiere Curtis Stewart’s Do You See the Flag? in 2021), and the Musee d’Orsay and Royaumont Foundation (to produce their first studio release of Faure’s L’horizon chimérique and Ullmann’s Liederbuch des Hafis). The duo took First Prize in the 2021 Gerda Lissner Song/Lieder Competition and the 2019 Joy in Singing International Song Competition.

This month, Feldmann collaborated once again with Michael Brofman and Brooklyn Art Song Society to premiere Cecilia Livingston's new cycle, Nothing Can End.  Last June, he and pianist Lidiia Vodyk presented "Memories and Fantasies", a recital of Fauré mélodies and Schubert's Schwanengesang in the Opernhaus Zürich Spiegelsaal.

Feldmann was a recipient of the 2021 Richard F. Gold Career Grant through the Shoshana Foundation, and is a graduate of the Artist Diploma in Opera Studies program at the Juilliard School, where he studied with Elizabeth Bishop, Randall Scarlata, and Sanford Sylvan.
