JEREMY WEISS Baritone
With a “heart wrenchingly beautiful” (Interludes) voice possessing an “indigo-tinged sensuousness” (Opera News), baritone Jeremy Weiss channels his training as an actor into his work as a musician, bringing human stories to life in performances that are radically open-hearted. His career spans two continents with recent credits including L’Opéra National de Paris, The Ravinia Festival with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, L’Opéra-Théâtre de Metz Metropole, and The Brooklyn Academy of Music. Next season will bring house premieres with Seattle Opera, Portland Opera, Cincinnati Opera, and San Diego Opera.
Weiss is also on the forefront of developing “innovative, engrossing, and boundary-shattering” (Opera News) multidisciplinary projects that transform the way audiences connect with classical music. The Wandering—a queer, transmedia visual album and immersive audience experience—is based on Schubert’s lieder and it headlined the Innovation in Art Song Summit at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Jeremy was commissioned to write his first opera Infinitesimal during his residency with Pure Art Circle (summer 2025), which he co-composed with Nicole Brancato. Infinitesimal is a genre-shattering chamber opera for voice, piano, and electronics that interweaves memoir with cutting edge research on the experience of death to bring to light what connects us all.
A vocal chameleon, Weiss has sung Schaunard in La Bohème, Orfeo in Belli’s Orfeo Dolente, Steve Jobs in Mason Bates’s The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, and Garibaldo in Handel’s Rodelinda. Also known for his work as a crossover artist, Weiss has performed the roles of Curly in Oklahoma!, Freddy in My Fair Lady, and the Wolf/Prince in Into the Woods. Jeremy was awarded third prize in the Lotte Lenya Competition in 2022, where he was also a prizewinner in 2019 and 2020.
Jeremy completed his undergraduate degree at Yale University and earned a Master’s in Music and Performers Diploma from Indiana University. He was a studio artist at the Aspen Opera Center and also received training as an actor in NYC at the Atlantic Acting School.
