George Cornelius

I’m a 25-year-old baritone trying to learn how to sing opera. I have a Bachelor of Music from Texas Christian University, and a Master of Music from UNT. I have sung the roles of Guglielmo in Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte (TCU), Leporello in Mozart’s Don Giovanni (Seagle Colony), Ford in Verdi’s Falstaff (UNT), Dr Falke in Die Fledermaus (UNT), Figaro in Rossini’s Barber of Seville (Seagle Colony), Count Danilo in the Merry Widow (Seagle Colony), the Baritone in Postcard from Morocco (UM), as well as the Cappadocian in Salome, the Jailer in Tosca, Thierry in Dialogues of the Carmelites, Peter in the world premiere of Thomas Pasatieri’s Frau Margot, and Prince Yamadori in Madama Butterfly all with the Fort Worth Opera. I am currently studying at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor with Stephen Lusmann. This spring I am singing Papageno in The Magic Flute and the title role in Don Giovanni with Arbor Opera Theatre, as well as Escamillo in The Tragedy of Carmen at the Pine Mountain Music Festival.
