Andrew Bidlack

Featured by Opera News as one of their ‘top 25 brilliant young artists’ (October 2015), tenor Andrew Bidlack’s career highlights include his 2016 and 2018 Metropolitan Opera appearances as Beppe I Pagliacci; the principal tenor role in Iain Bell’s world premiere In Parenthesis at Welsh National Opera with performances at Covent Garden in 2016; and the role of Sprinck in Kevin Puts’s Pulitzer Prize winning composition Silent Night at Arizona Opera.

Andrew’s recent success in the role of Lyonnel Le Roi Arthus which he sang at BARD Summerscape and in Austria’s Tiroler Festspiel, Erl, brought him an invitation to appear at Oper Frankfurt, and he sang several roles there including Moser Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Dance Master/Lamplighter Manon Lescaut, Schmidt Werther, The Assistant Der Zar lässt sich photographieren, and perhaps most memorably the role of First Vagabond in Orff’s Die Kluge with its numerous high Cs. His easy command of Russian took him to Odyssey Opera for Young Gypsy Aleko and Paolo Francesca da Rimini and he joined Opera Delaware’s recital series for Schumann’s Dichterliebe.  Future engagements include his return to Oper Frankfurt for Second Jew Salome and back to Dallas Opera for Doctor The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
