Ryan McKinny

baritone

Recognized by Opera News as "one of the finest singers of his generation," American bass-baritone Ryan McKinny has earned his reputation as an artist with something to say. His relentless curiosity informs riveting character portrayals and beautifully crafted performances, reminding audiences of their shared humanity with characters on stage and screen.

This season, McKinny's Joseph De Rocher, hailed by the Washington Post for his "figurative and literal muscular force" and "richly human performance" in Dead Man Walking, appears on the big screen opposite Joyce DiDonato for the Metropolitan Opera's popular Summer HD Festival in Lincoln Center Plaza. He brings his commanding bass-baritone to a role debut as Jan Nyman in Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek's haunting contemporary opera Breaking the Waves at Houston Grand Opera, and he makes company debuts at Ópera National de Chile and Des Moines Metro Opera as the title character in Wagner's The Flying Dutchman. Additional performances include Verdi's Requiem with Colorado Symphony, Der Kaiser von Atlantis with Louisville Orchestra, and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with Toledo Symphony and The Philadelphia Orchestra.
