Bass-Baritone
American bass-baritone Eric Owens commands the operatic stage with a voice of remarkable power and flexibility, equally at home in Wagner's mythic dramas and the American musical canon.
Defining moments and milestones
Trained at Philadelphia's premier institutions and honed his craft through the Houston Grand Opera Studio, Eric Owens built a career of methodical excellence before his breakthrough in 2010 with Robert Lepage's *Das Rheingold* at the Metropolitan Opera, a performance that revealed him as a Wagnerian artist of the first rank. Over the following decade, he established himself as a major interpreter of roles spanning from the classical repertoire to new works, winning Grammy Awards and earning recognition as one of America's finest bass-baritones, equally commanding in the concert hall and on the operatic stage.
