Eager to return to the stage, the 2021-2022 season begins with performances of Male Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia with An Opera Theatre (AOT) after a long-awaited two year postponement. In April, Brian will return to Baltimore Concert Opera to perform as L’Abate di Chazeuil in Adriana Lecouvreur. Continuing into May, an exciting addition to his schedule will be his Opéra de Montréal debut as Tamino in the ever popular Barrie Kosky production of The Magic Flute.
