Andrew Potter

Bass Andrew Potter has garnered increasing demand across the country for his larger-than-life stage presence with a voice to match. Last season established Potter as one of the premier basses in the opera world today, with major house débuts at Dallas Opera as Angelotti in Tosca, The Atlanta Opera as Quince in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Detroit Opera as Harašta in The Cunning Little Vixen, and Santa Fe Opera for both Der Rosenkavalier and the world premiere of The Righteous, in which he covers Greer Grimsley’s lead role of Paul. Additionally, Potter returned to Opera Santa Barbara as Ferrando in Il trovatore, and he joined the Fort Worth Symphony to cover Hunding in Act I of Die Walküre, Pacific Symphony as Colline in La bohème, I Filarmonici Columbus as Méphistophélès in scenes from Faust, and Houston Symphony as Second Soldier in Salome.



This season, Mr. Potter makes his Florida Grand Opera début as Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte, returns to Seattle Opera to sing Panthée in Les Troyens, takes his Angelotti in Tosca to Richmond Symphony, and joins the roster of The Metropolitan Opera to cover Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte. He also joins Opera Omaha to sing the Commendatore in Don Giovanni and Wichita Grand Opera for Vodnik in Rusalka.
