Vocalist - Bass-Baritone
About

A multi-faceted singer, the New York Times declares that Matthew Burns “has a beautiful bass-baritone voice,” Opera News observes, “Matthew Burns instills in his voice all the colors needed,” while the Boston Musical Intelligencer credits him with “a rare combination of comic timing, musical ability and stellar acting.” His engagements in the 2013-14 season currently include Sonora in Puccini’s La fanciulla del West in a return to Virginia Opera.

“Baritone Matthew Burns and soprano Anne-Carolyn Bird, husband and wife in real life and Figaro and Susanna in Mozart’s world, were ideally cast. Both have lovely voices that are big enough to carry easily over the orchestra but agile enough for Mozartean transparency, and both of them can act.”
