He has since performed at The Metropolitan Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, and the Royal Opera House, amongst others. With such raw talent, one would think that opera was Thomas’s first choice of career but in fact, Thomas didn’t pursue opera until he was eighteen years old at the urging of his music teacher. He’ll be gracing our stage once again this season in the title role of Mozart’s The Clemency of Titus. Last here in our 2016/17 season as Cavaradossi in Tosca, Thomas wowed audiences. Russell Thomas is that tenor a voice as smooth as velvet but so powerful you’d think he was amplified. Her next big thing? Making her staged-role debut in Carmen at San Francisco Opera this summer.
In 2015, Bridges premiered the role of Carmen in the new opera Bel Canto with the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Bridges earned a Master of Music from Curtis Institute of Music after graduating from Manhattan School of Music. Last seen at LA Opera in Philip Glass’s Satyagraha, Bridges chose to pursue music over basketball. When you hear the words “killing the game,” mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges is an obvious name that comes to mind.
