We are very excited to have John Brancy on the podcast!
Grammy Award-Winning Baritone John Brancy‘s intense musicality and communicative power place him among the finest of baritones of his generation. Brancy skillfully switches between leading opera roles, and award-winning art song interpretation. In an article of Opera News, legendary baritone Gerald Finely says, “I look at John Brancy, a young artist who’s got his teeth in it, who loves the challenge of art song."
In the episode we do a round of rapid-fire questions like, "What is your favorite food before an audition?" and "If you could be a different voice part, what would you want to be?"
We deep dive into what it's like to transition from student to working artist, the importance of taking your cover roles seriously, and what it feels like to attend the Grammys!
SoCal residents, you can catch John Brancy in San Diego Opera's upcoming production of Così fan tutte February 12th, 15th, 18th, and 20th!
