Ben Bliss, tenor & Lachlan Glen, piano

“An excellent tenor, strong and attractive of tone and manner” (The New York Times), Ben Bliss is “a model of relaxed, assured singing” (New York Classical Review) with “style, sensitivity, and easily achieved upper register” (Santa Fe New Mexican).

The Kansas native and Metropolitan Opera Beverly Sills Award winner combines superb musicianship and astute theatrical instincts to create memorable performances. “Tenor Ben Bliss sang with alacrity and precise, fine tunefulness. The color of his voice provided eloquence and taste and he never veered from his purpose” (Opera Wire).

“Exceptional performers…Bliss and Glen…two artists who clearly love their art” (mdtheatreguide.com).
