Kenneth Kellogg
American bass, Kenneth Kellogg’s recent highlights include his return to Europe where he travelled to Kraków, Poland for performances of Rossini’s Sigismondo singing the two roles of Ulderico and Zenovito with Capella Cracoviensis. In 2021, he appeared as Commendatore Don Giovanni at Seattle Opera, and returned to San Francisco Opera for the role of Basilio Il Barbiere di Siviglia; this season he brings three new roles into his repertoire: Rocco Fidelio at North Carolina Opera, Raimondo Lucia de Lammermoor at Madison Opera and Grand Inquisitor Don Carlo at Maryland Opera.
A recent highlight of the artist’s career is creating the role of Father Blue written by Jeanine Tesori and Tazewell Thompson for Glimmerglass Festival’s world premiere which brought him great acclaim; he recently appeared in the role at Michigan Opera Theater in Detroit, and sings the role in future at Seattle Opera and Pittsburgh Opera as well as other main centres.
