Hailed for his "hearty, luxurious baritone" (Musical America), Gregory Feldmann is a rising artist on opera and recital stages alike. Next season, Feldmann will return to Opernhaus Zürich to sing Le Dancaïre in Bizet's Carmen. He will cover the same role in the fall at the Metropolitan Opera. This fall, Feldmann was one of nine winners of the 2025 Sullivan Foundation Awards. This summer, Feldmann made his role debut in the title role of Ambroise Thomas' Hamlet at the Buxton International Festival in the UK. He reprised 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 included 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 conductor Annedore Neufeld this December, joining the Basler Münsterkantorei for Honegger's Cantate de Noël and Boulanger's Psaume 130. Last season, Feldmann made his debut in the Grosse-Saal of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, singing in Schubert's Missa Solemnis with Neufeld and the Zürcher Bach Chor. He recently joined the Sequoia Symphony Orchestra for Haydn's Creation in April 2025 under Bruce Kiesling. In January 2024, Feldmann appeared with the Ballett Zürich in Timekeepers, singing the bass solo in Stravinsky's Les Noces.
A passionate recitalist, 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.
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).
Feldmann lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he continues a collaboration with Michael Brofman and the Brooklyn Art Song Society. This October, Feldmann and Brofman will present Schubert's Schwanengesang as a part of an all-day marathon of the three major Schubert song cycles. Last April, Feldmann premiered Cecilia Livingston's Nothing Can End with pianist Danny Zelibor, as well giving the first live, public performance of Scott Wheeler's Three Russian Nocturnes with Brofman. BASS also presented Feldmann's first performance of Schumann's Dichterliebe in October 2023 with pianist Joel Harder.
Feldmann is represented by Callan Coughlan-Davies and IMG Artists. He is graduate of the Artist Diploma in Opera Studies program at the Juilliard School, where he studied with Elizabeth Bishop, Randall Scarlata, and Sanford Sylvan.
