Hall |
Young American tenor Adam Hall is a talent on the brink of a stunning career. His bright, full voice with its soaring top register coupled with a refined musicianship render him perfectly suited for the French and bel canto repertoire. In the 2010/11 season Adam Hall is engaged to cover the roles of François in Leonard Bernstein’s A Quiet Place at New York City Opera and the Duca di Mantua in Rigoletto at St. Petersburg Opera in Florida. He will return to St. Petersburg in the spring to sing Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi and will perform the role of Ruggero in La Rondine with Opera Company of Middlebury in the summer. Mr. Hall’s 2009/10 engagements included Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi at George Washington University, Ernesto in Don Pasquale at The Repertory Theater of Washington, the Duca di Mantua in a concert version of Rigoletto at the Center City Opera Theater and covering as Artemidore in Gluck’s Armide at The Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Washington, DC. In 2009, Adam Hall also performed Ernesto in Don Pasquale and Nemorino in L'Elisir d'Amore with Bel Cantanti Opera, an opera company with which he debuted in 2008 as Belmonte in Die Entführung aus dem Serail. In 2007, Adam Hall originated the role of Jimmy, which was written specifically for his voice in the John Musto opera Later the Same Evening that made its world premiere at the Smithsonian's National Gallery of Art. Mr. Hall’s repertoire of performed roles includes Ferrando in Così fan tutte, Tamino in Die Zauberflöte, and both Dino and Luigi in William 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 Washington, DC in 2004. He has since performed as the soloist in many other choral works including Respighi's Laud to the Nativity, Händel's Messiah, Haydn's Creation, Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem, Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, and Rene Clausen's A New Creation. As 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 was enrolled as a young artist and studied the roles of Artemidore and Le Chevalier Danois in Gluck's Armide. Adam Hall has had the opportunity to work and collaborate with Maestros Placido Domingo and Heinz Fricke, and stage directors Lotfi Mansouri and Leon Major. |
