Biography

Geoffrey McDonald

Geoffrey McDonald is lauded as a “promising and confident” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) young leader at the forefront of an evolving American opera scene. The New York Times describes him as “an agile conductor…whose pacing is sure in both reflective and restless passages", and the Observer has noted his "original and flexible musical imagination" in productions ranging from baroque to contemporary opera, in traditional venues as well as ambitious site-specific performances. As Music Director of New York City's On Site Opera, McDonald regularly marshals performances of the highest musical standard while adapting to immersive and logistically challenging settings. He has also led productions for Opera Philadelphia, Minnesota Opera, Atlanta Opera, Opera Saratoga, Wolf Trap Opera, Opera Omaha, Chicago Opera Theater, Toledo Opera, Curtis Opera Theatre, and the Caramoor Festival.
