Bass-baritone Henry Hyunsoon Kim, based in New York, is an emerging operatic artist recognized for his rich tone and commanding stage presence. In September 2025, he made his debut with New York City Opera in Carmen, performing the role of Dancaïro. That same year, he appeared in the world premiere opera of Rossini Perduto with the Long Island Orchestra. He also performed the role of Pepe and covered the role of Christ in the world premiere opera of Tin Angel with Teatro Grattacielo. Additionally, he was featured in Tribute to Napoli: Songs of Eternal Passion, a Neapolitan song concert at the Columbus Citizens Foundation, which was met with great success.
