Bass-Baritone Jason Zacher, a native of New Jersey, is quickly gaining national attention as a rising new talent and versatile performer.

In the 2022-23 season, Mr. Zacher joined the acclaimed Barbara and Halsey Sandford Studio Artist Program at Kentucky Opera, where he impressed audiences with his roles as Colline in La bohème, Alidoro in La Cenerentola, and Henry in The Gift of the Magi. Following his time in Kentucky, Mr. Zacher was highlighted as part of the Young Artist Program at The Glimmerglass Festival, most notably performing the role of Argante in Rinaldo and covering Pangloss/Voltaire in Candide. This summer, Mr. Zacher was also featured as a soloist in concert alongside award-winning singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant and Anthony Roth Costanzo.

Immediately after his summer with The Glimmerglass Festival, Mr. Zacher is thrilled to be joining the prestigious Glynn Studio Artist program at The Atlanta Opera for their 2023-24 season. He will be featured on stage in The Atlanta Opera's upcoming productions of Frankenstein, Rigoletto, La bohème, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Previously, Mr. Zacher spent several summers with Des Moines Metro Opera, recently returning in the summer of 2022 to sing the role of Jimmy in the Midwest premiere of American Apollo (Geter/Palmer), as well as covering both Bottom and Theseus in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

He has received top accolades from various prestigious organizations, including the Jensen Foundation, Annapolis Opera, James Toland Vocal Arts, Rochester Oratorio Society, Opera Birmingham, and National Opera Association, among others.

Equally at home on the concert stage, Mr. Zacher was recently featured as the bass soloist in Mozart's Requiem alongside The Masterwork Chorus in the Spring of 2023. He will return to The Masterwork Chorus this December, making his Carnegie Hall debut as the Bass Soloist in Handel’s Messiah.
