Patrick Cook
Highlights of the recent past seasons for American tenor Patrick Cook include his induction into the ensemble at Deutsche Oper Berlin in season 2020-21, where he prepared the role of Der Fremde Das Wunder der Heliane and sang the roles of Zandonai Francesca da Rimini and Froh Das Rheingold while covering both Siegfried Siegfried and Gotterdammerung. Upcoming Deutsche Opera Berlin roles this season include Normanno Lucia de Lammermoor, Ismaele Nabucco, Albi Der Schatzgraber and Stolzing (c) Die Meistersinger. Recent successes include his Metropolitan Opera debut as Master of Ceremonies Pique Dame and Mitch A Streetcar Named Desire with Opera Roanoke.
Past season engagements include his Washington National Opera debut as the Kronprinz Silent Night followed by his European debut at Theater Aachen as François A Quiet Place. He made a role debut as Steuerman/Erik (c) Der fliegende Höllander at the Miami Music Festival Wagner Institute where he also covered Siegmund Die Walküre and the title role Lohengrin. About his Bacchus Ariadne auf Naxos the South Florida Classical Review said the artist “…sang with strapping virility and golden, clarion tones…”
…the fine tenor Patrick Cook, in his Met debut, was a perfumed prig as the master of ceremonies presiding over the ball.
Seen and Heard International, Rick Perdian, 2 December 2019
Outstanding Patrick Cook as husband, ex-lover and son-in-law in “A Quiet Place” …musical design, presence, and play merge into intense role-building that is rarely experienced.
