The UNC Greensboro Concert and Lecture Series presents Lawrence Brownlee, leading tenor from the Metropolitan Opera, on March 20th in the Elliott University Center Auditorium, with special ticket rates for UNCG students, faculty, and staff.
A leading figure in opera, both as a singer who has graced the world’s leading stages and as a voice for activism and diversity in the industry, Brownlee has captivated audiences and critics around the globe. Brownlee has been hailed as “an international star in the bel canto operatic repertory” (New York Times), “one of the world’s leading bel canto stars” (The Guardian), and “one of the most in-demand opera singers in the world today” (NPR).
Some of Brownlee’s most celebrated roles are the title role of Mozart’s Mitridate, re di ponto with Boston Lyric Opera, Count Amaviva in Il Barbiere di Siviglia (broadcast Live in HD in theaters worldwide) at the Metropolitan Opera, and Tonio in La fille du régiment.
Highlights of Mr. Brownlee’s recent seasons include his return as Ernesto in Don Pasquale at Teatro alla Scala Milan and as Tonio in La fille du régiment at Lyric Opera Chicago, as well as his role debuts as Tamino in Die Zauberflöte at the Metropolitan Opera, as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor at The New National Theatre Tokyo, and Fernand in a new production of Donizetti’s La Favorite with Houston Grand Opera.
In spring 2021, Brownlee joined The Juilliard School as a Distinguished Visiting Faculty Member. He serves as artistic advisor for Opera Philadelphia and is an Ambassador for Lyric Opera of Chicago’s Lyric Unlimited as well as Opera for Peace.
