Praised by Opera News for his "gleaming heroic tenor and a hint of physical danger," Samuel White shows promise in the dramatic repertory.
Sam has covered the roles of Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly with Tulsa Opera and Count Loris Ipanov in Fedora with Teatro Grattacielo.
His other performance credits include Matthew Gurney in Tobias Picker’s Emmeline, Aeneas in Dido & Aeneas, and Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus.
He has completed training in such institutions as The Aspen Opera Center, The Glimmerglass Festival, Opera in the Ozarks, Lyric Opera Studio Weimar, The Florida State University, and The Manhattan School of Music.
Last summer Samuel covered The Prince in Rusalka at The Santa Fe Opera Center and he has just recently covered the role of Licinio in Teatro Grattacielo’s production of La Vestale celebrating 100 years of Maria Callas.
Samuel is an apprentice artist with the Merola Opera Program in San Francisco this summer, and he will be singing the role of Canio in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci at Wexford Festival Opera in autumn 2024.
