Biography
The "athletically comic" and "strong-voiced" tenor, Max Zander is a native of Great Neck, NY. Max begins his 2025 season singing the Governor and Vanderdendur in Candide with the South Florida Symphony. During the 2023-2024 season, he was a guest artist with Yale Opera, where he made his role debut as Sellem in The Rake's Progress. He began his 2022-2023 season singing the role of Fima Votov in the World Premiere of Arkhipov by Peter Knell and Stephanie Fleischmann at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles. He then made his debut with the Evansville Philharmonic as the Tenor Soloist for Handel’s Messiah and joined the Orchestra of St. Peter by the Sea as Beppe in Pagliacci. He also appeared as Billington in a workshop of Kennedy Verrett and George M. Kopp’s new opera Madame Theremin at the National Opera Center and reprised Monostatos in The Magic Flute in his debut with the Norwalk Symphony.
He kicked off the 2021-2022 season making his house debut with Berkshire Opera Festival, where he reprised Bardolfo in Verdi's Falstaff. He then returned to Des Moines Metro Opera to cover Monostatos in Barrie Kosky’s production of The Magic Flute, joined Louisiana State University as a guest artist, where he sang Heurtebise in Philip Glass’s Orphée, and returned to Hub City Opera as the title character in Darius Milhaud's Le Pauvre Matelot and Opéra Louisiane as the Four Servants and Nathanaël in Les Contes d'Hoffmann. During the 2020-2021 season, he appeared as the tenor soloist for Cedar Rapids Opera's Songs of Isolation and Connection and sang the Witch in a filmed production of Hansel and Gretel with Bel Cantanti Opera in Maryland. He spent the 2019-2020 season with Opera Idaho, where he sang Guillot de Morfontaine in Manon and Parpignol in La Bohème, and made his debut with Opéra Louisiane as King Kaspar in Amahl and the Night Visitors. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, he also recorded Gherardo in Gianni Schicchi and Caius in Falstaff for Social Distance Opera and presented a live online recital for Hub City Opera. Engagements cancelled due to COVID-19 included covering Father Grenville in Dead Man Walking with Opera Idaho and singing the Witch in Hansel and Gretel for his debut with City Lyric Opera. He was also set to return to both Hub City Opera as the Tenor Soloist for Un\Rooted and Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre as Enoch Snow in Carousel. Recent career highlights include Bardolfo in Falstaff with Sir Bryn Terfel and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Pong in Turandot with Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre, Don Issachar (and Cacambo cover) in Candide with Des Moines Metro Opera, Caius in Falstaff with Opera Saratoga, Tamino in The Magic Flute with Opera Iowa, Remendado in Carmen with the Indianapolis Symphony, Harry in La Fanciulla del West with Apotheosis Opera, Anselmo in Man of La Mancha with Utah Festival Opera, and Nemorino in L'Elisir d'Amore with the Montefeltro Festival in Italy.
