Mozart’s beloved opera engages you in the overture and never lets go! Based on the revolutionary Beaumarchais play, The Marriage of Figaro is filled with social commentary and intrigue. Who will succeed: the Count, his servant, or their wives? And will the chaos of the day end in happiness?

Biography
Praised for his “finely focused and well-mannered” voice (Dallas Morning News), tenor Brian Wallin has “proved [to be] another gifted tenor…who took the stage with flair and commitment” (Opera Today). Eager to return to the stage, the 2021-2022 season begins with performances of Male Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia with An Opera Theatre (AOT) after a long-awaited two year postponement. In April, Brian will return to Baltimore Concert Opera to perform as L’Abate di Chazeuil in Adriana Lecouvreur. Continuing into May, an exciting addition to his schedule will be his Opéra de Montréal debut as Tamino in the ever popular Barrie Kosky production of The Magic Flute.
The 2019-2020 season began with appearances with Austin Opera in the role of Borsa in Rigoletto and a reprised role of Count Almaviva in The Ghosts of Versailles with the Opéra Royal de Versailles, which he debuted at The Glimmerglass Festival in 2019. Brian continued his work with contemporary repertoire making his Opera Birmingham debut in a regional premiere of Independence Eve, a chamber opera commentating on civil rights issues.
During the 2018-2019 season, he made appearances in West Side Story with Lyric Opera of Kansas City and The Atlanta Opera and returned to the Benenson Young Artist Program with Palm Beach Opera appearing in La Traviata and covering the role of Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni. He made his mainstage debut with Minnesota Opera in the World Premiere of The Fix followed by debuts with Shreveport Symphony Orchestra in St. Matthew Passion and Pacific Symphony in L’enfant et les sortilèges.
Previous engagements include Third Jew in Salome (Minnesota Orchestra), The King of Eldorado in Candide (Opéra National de Bordeaux and Théâtre du Capitole), El Remendado in Carmen (Fort Worth Opera) and as the tenor soloist in St. John Passion (Lyric Opera of the North) and Carmina Burana (The Atlanta Ballet).
In addition to The Glimmerglass Festival and Palm Beach Opera, Brian has appeared as a Young Artist with Opera Saratoga, Fort Worth Opera, and the Janiec Opera Company at Brevard Music Center. He proudly received both his Bachelor and Master degrees from the University of Maryland and the Maryland Opera Studio.
