Andrew Bidlack
American tenor Andrew Bidlack’s current season engagements include his guest appearance at the 20th Anniversary concert for American Lyric Theatre, the principal tenor role of Trout Shue in Madison Opera’s world premiere of Everlasting Faintby Scott Grendel and Sandra Flores-Strand, and the roles of Graf von Gloria Cassis Die Banditen and Remendado Carmen at Oper Frankfurt, where he is a regular guest artist.
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 Lyonnel Le Roi Arthus at BARD Summerscape and in Austria’s Tiroler Festspiel, Erl, which brought his first invitation to appear at Oper Frankfurt where he continues to make guest appearances.
Last season, the artist appeared as Edmondo Manon Lescaut with Washington Concert Opera; he returned to Oper Frankfurt for Sichel Doktor und Apotheker, Third Squire Parsifal, Wirt and Haushofmeister des Marschallins Rosenkavalier; and he travelled to Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern for False Assistant Der Zar lässt sich photographieren
“As Lyonnel, tenor Andrew Bidlack was second to none in terms of vocal glamour and created a particularly sympathetic character as Lancelot’s faithful squire.” Rick Perdian, Seen and Heard International, 31 July 2021
“How fitting, though, that the most beautiful voice in the cast belonged to tenor Andrew Bidlack, who as the everyman Greenhorn stands as the story’s conscience and its most humane and vulnerable persona. By opera’s end, we believe that he has preserved at least a shred of the innocence that Ahab and this narrative otherwise have taken from him.” Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune, 27 April 2019
“Exuding a cat-like coolness, Andrew Bidlack, as Andy, saunters around a bench area in Christopher Park and playfully eyes a man across the way that looks interested…Bidlack, convincingly told the story of a kid looking for love, who finds it on the Stonewall dance floor.”
