Opera Voice with Matthew P.

I'm an actively performing professional Opera Singer who has performed leading roles with opera companies all across the country. Most recently I appeared as Don José in Carmen with Washington National Opera, Portland Opera and the Glimmerglass Festival. I am a former Cafritz Young Artist at Washington National Opera where I was able to perform for the Kennedy Center Honors and perform for the Supreme Court and several ambassadors at their private residences. Before that, I attended The Juilliard School for my Masters in performance and The University of Kentucky for my Bachelors in performance. While I work hard and dedicate countless hours to my craft, I find time to let the goofball in me shine. Music and performing are so incredible and enlightening and most importantly, FUN! I've played Drum Set in a Jazz Band, Tuba in Marching Bands and Orchestras, sung Musical Theatre and Contemporary music, I've even taken Flight Lessons. All of these skills came with incredible, dedicated teachers who instilled a love of passing on knowledge to the next generation and anyone who wants to take the time to learn. Also, my bowling average is 215.
