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.
A regular guest artist at Oper Frankfurt, current season engagements include his return for the roles of Sichel Doktor und Apotheker and Third Knight Parsifal.
Andrew’s recent success include 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; roles include Moser Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Dance Master/Lamplighter Manon Lescaut, Schmidt Werther, The Assistant Der Zar lässt sich photographieren, Second Jew Salome, Wirt Traumgorge and perhaps most memorably, the role of First Vagabond in Orff’s Die Kluge with its numerous high Cs.
“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
“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
“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.”
