Biography

Andrew Hallam

A native of Detroit, Michigan, bass-baritone Andrew Hallam is committed to connecting with audiences through the multi-faceted possibilities of opera and song.

He opened the 2024-25 season with performances as Nardo in Mozart’s La finta giardiniera and Peter Quince in Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) Opera Theatre and as a bass soloist for Collegium Cincinnati’s Messiah. He went on to join Kentucky Opera for the chorus of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Pygmalion, and returned to Cincinnati Opera for its 2025 Summer Chorus, appearing in productions of Verdi’s Rigoletto, Puccini’s Tosca, Bock’s Fiddler on the Roof, and Opera Chorus Cabaret.  Andrew also performed in Cincinnati Song Initiative’s Let It Be New digital concert, where he premiered three newly commissioned works. He then concluded the season as Ibn-Hakia in Queen City Opera’s production of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta.

Last season, Andrew workshopped the role of Mr. Baron in Missy Mazzoli’s Lincoln in the Bardo with Cincinnati Opera’s Opera Fusion: New Works. This performance was held in Cincinnati on behalf of the Metropolitan Opera. He later appeared as Revírník (Forester) in CCM’s production of Leoš Janáček’s Příhody lišky Bystroušky (The Cunning Little Vixen) and joined Cincinnati Opera for its 2024 Summer Chorus, featuring Verdi’s La traviata and Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio

For the 2022-23 season, he performed throughout the metro Detroit area with the Motor City Lyric Opera (MCLO) and as a chorister for Detroit Opera’s production of Aïda. Through MCLO’s Opera on Wheels initiative, Andrew engaged in outreach productions, such as The Billy Goats Gruff, to bring free, educational, and interactive opera to children from diverse backgrounds in Michigan. In addition, he joined Opera in the Ozarks as an Emerging Artist, where he performed the roles of Dr. Dulcamara in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore and Grandpa Moss in Copland’s The Tender Land

Other credits include Leporello in Mozart’s Don Giovanni through the Vienna Summer Music Festival, and Papageno in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte with German dialogue, Le Premier Ministre in Massenet’s Cendrillon, Primo Giudice in Alessandro Stradella’s La Susanna, the Doctor in William Grant Still’s Highway 1, U.S.A., and the Ripley Constable in Adolphus Hailstork’s Rise for Freedom: The John P. Parker Story with the University of Michigan Opera Theatre. 

Andrew has also been a featured soloist on the recordings of An Anthology of African and African Diaspora Songs in 2022 and An Anthology of Songs of Joseph Bologne in 2023. Having gained international recognition for his opera and art song repertoire, he was invited to be a guest speaker and performer for the Voces del Sol ensemble in Lima, Peru, in 2022.

Andrew Hallam received a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from the University of Michigan, a Master of Music in Voice Performance at CCM, and is now engaging in CCM’s Artist Diploma Program. There, he received the 2025 Sam Adams Award and won the Seybold-Russell Award in the 2023 CCM Opera Scholarship Competition.
