Brian Mulligan
Brian Mulligan is an American operatic baritone who has performed in major opera houses and concert halls all over the world.
Mulligan's diverse repertoire currently includes over 60 roles in seven languages. He regularly performs the standard works of Puccini, Verdi, and Wagner, yet also sings the music of living composers such as John Adams, Dominick Argento, and Gregory Spears.
In September 2018, The Washington Post wrote "Mulligan is a big man with a big voice. His baritone is almost embarrassingly rich in its low and middle registers, with a high range and head voice of bell-like purity. His diction is flawless. Most importantly, he imbues every syllable with unmistakable meaning and purpose."
Born in Endicott, New York, Mulligan has two younger brothers and was raised in an Irish Catholic home. His parents were born in Ireland, which allowed Mulligan to be granted dual citizenship with the United States and Ireland.
Mulligan studied voice at the Juilliard School and Yale University. His primary voice teachers were Dale Moore, Beverley Peck Johnson, and W. Stephen Smith, with whom he still studies today.
Mulligan spent five summers as a student at the Aspen Music Festival and School, two summers as a Young Artist with Wolf Trap Opera and one summer with the Steans Institute at the Ravinia Festival.
Brian Mulligan made his professional debut at the Metropolitan Opera in December 2003. He was still a student at Juilliard at the time of his debut, singing the role of Der Wächter in Die Frau ohne Schatten. Since then, he has gone on to perform at some of the most important opera houses in the world, including the Wiener Staatsoper (debut as Balstrode in Peter Grimes), San Francisco Opera (debut as Marcello in La bohème), Opernhaus Zürich (debut as Yeletsky in Pique Dame), Lyric Opera of Chicago (debut as Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor), Oper Frankfurt (debut as Prospero in Adès' The Tempest), Los Angeles Opera (debut as Prometheus in Die Vögel), New York City Opera (debut as Jake Wallace in La fanciulla del West) and Houston Grand Opera (debut as Marcello in La bohème).
Recent appearance include Mandryka in Arabella with San Francisco Opera, Golaud in Pelléas et Mélisande at Oper Frankfurt, Sharpless in Madama Butterfly with Opernhaus Zürich, Gunther in Götterdämmerung and Donner in Das Rheingold with San Francisco Opera, Paolo Albiani in Simon Boccanegra at the Metropolitan Opera, Amonasro in Aida at the Aspen Music Festival, John Proctor in The Crucible at the Glimmerglass Festival, Nelusko in L'Africaine at Oper Frankfurt, Tadeusz in The Passenger at the Theater an der Wien and Roderick Usher in Debussy's La chute de la maison Usher at San Francisco Opera.
