Nmon Ford

Panamanian-American baritone Nmon Ford’s recent highlights include his exceptionally reviewed performances in the title role Don Giovanni at Dorset Festival Opera, and as Crown in the new production of Porgy & Bess at English National Opera, later at Dutch National Opera; at Dallas Symphony Orchestra he sang A Sea Symphony under the baton of Robert Spano, and he travelled to Denver to join the cast of Opera Colorado’s Carmen as Escamillo.  He stepped into new territory writing his own piece, Orpheus: a house music opera slated for a world premiere in March 2020 at London’s Young Vic Theatre and directed by Charles Randolph-Wright, a casualty of the pandemic.
