Bassoonist

In an emotionally charged tale of courage in the face of tyranny, internationally acclaimed tenor David Portillo portrays the brave and tragic Turkish Emperor Bajazet, imprisoned by the Tartar Emperor Tamerlano sung by “exquisite” (Opera News) countertenor Ryan Belongie. Following her triumphant 2023 Haymarket debut in La Giuditta, luminescent soprano Emily Birsan sings the role of Asteria, Bajazet’s daughter, desired as wife by both Tamerlano and his Greek ally Andronico, sung by rising star mezzo-soprano Kathleen Felty. Mezzo Emily Fons makes her much-anticipated return to Haymarket as the Princess Irene, Tamerlano’s jilted bride-to-be. Bass-baritone David Govertsen brings his “thrilling bass” (Chicago Stage Style) to the role of Leone, confidant of Andronico.

Hailed as “a knockout performer” by The Times, Singaporean-British mezzo Fleur Barron brings her burnished voice to her Haymarket debut in the title role of the martyred Saint John the Baptist. Also in their company debuts, Haymarket welcomes bass-baritone Christian Pursell as Herod, the king who is reluctant to execute John the Baptist, and Eric Ferring as the savage confidant who pushes for the saint’s brutal execution. Radiant sopranos Erica Schuller and Kristen Knutson Berka return to Haymarket as the scorned mother and daughter out for blood.
