CHRISTOPHER JOB
BARITONE
BIOGRAPHY
Praised for his “commanding sonority” (Opera News) and described as “handsome, agile, and with a voice to match” (Boulder Daily Camera), Bass-Baritone Christopher Job is a “rising star on the American opera scene” (Grand Junction Free Press). In 2019 Job made his début with Los Angeles Opera as Dr. Grenvil in La Traviata and sang Sciarrone in Tosca with Bravo! Vail Music Festival. He also returned to Carnegie Hall for Handel’s Messiah, which he recently recorded live for the New Choral Society in New York.
Job continued his tenure at The Met last season with roles in Tosca, as Sciarrone, Rigoletto as Ceprano, Don Carlos, and Madama Butterfly as the Commissioner. Continuing this season at the esteemed opera house, Job will sing roles such as Leader of the King’s Guard in Medea, Sciarrone in Tosca, and the Marquis in La traviata, in addition to roles in The Hours, Die Zauberflöte, Lohengrin, and Der Rosenkavalier. Job can also be seen in concert, singing Handel’s Messiah with DCINY. [read more...]
