• Paul Appleby

  
  Admired for his interpretive depth, vocal strength, and range of expressivity, tenor Paul Appleby is one of the most sought-after voices of his generation. A versatile artist, Mr. Appleby is equally in demand on the world's leading concert, recital, and opera stages.
  
  Following a summer season that included his debut at Glyndebourne in Barrie Kosky's new production of Handel's Saul, Mr. Appleby's 2015-2016 season includes a return to the Metropolitan Opera as Belmonte in Die Entführung aus dem Serail and his San Francisco Opera debut as Tamino in Die Zauberflöte.
  
  Concert performances include collaborations with Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Coronation Mass, Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic in Mozart's Requiem, and Jane Glover and the New York Philharmonic in Handel's Messiah.
  
  Deeply committed to the art of song, Mr. Appleby makes his recital debut at London's Wigmore Hall accompanied by Malcolm Martineau, and tours North America with pianist Ken Noda, presented in performances by the Celebrity Series of Boston, Friends of Chamber Music of Miami, and University of Notre Dame. Last December, Mr. Appleby delivered a program at the New York Festival of Song with Steven Blier, showcasing the exquisite lyricism of Franz Schubert and The Beatles.
