Kenneth Kellogg
American bass Kenneth Kellogg’s recent engagements include several role debuts: Basilio Il Barbiere di Siviglia at San Francisco Opera, Grand Inquisator/Phillippe II (c) Don Carlo and Bartolo Le Nozze di Figaro both at Maryland Lyric Opera, Rocco Fidelio at North Carolina Opera, and Raimondo Lucia de Lammermoor at Madison Opera. He soon sings Ramfis and Il Re in two different productions of Aida, and returns to the role of Sparafucile Rigoletto at Intermountain Opera Bozeman.
A significant feature of the artist’s recent career is the Father Blue, a role written largely for him by Jeanine Tesori and Tazewell Thompson. He appeared in the role in the world premiere at Glimmerglass Festival and in productions following at Detroit Opera, Seattle Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, Toledo Opera and in Washington National Opera’s recording of the work. He soon travels to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, to appear in the European premiere at Dutch National Opera.
