“His powerful voice, with its earthy textures and resonant sound, is ideal.”—New York Times

What do Hercules, Porgy, and the Norse god Wotan have in common? They’ve all been portrayed by big-voiced American bass-baritone Eric Owens. A frequent star of the Metropolitan Opera, he’s sharing the stage with students from the Curtis Institute, where he serves as director of vocal studies and the Curtis Opera Theatre. The quartet will perform gems from the lieder and song repertoire—anchored by Brahms’s lilting and pensive Neue Liebeslieder waltzes for four voices and four-hand piano, followed by operatic arias, ensemble pieces, and bittersweet Broadway numbers.

Curtis on Tour is the Nina von Maltzahn Global Touring Initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music.
