Biography
Biography
The "athletically comic" and "strong-voiced" tenor, Max Zander is a native of Great Neck, NY. He kicks off the 2021-2022 season making his house debut with Berkshire Opera Festival, where he reprises Bardolfo in Verdi's Falstaff. He then returns to Des Moines Metro Opera to cover Monostatos in Barrie Kosky’s production of The Magic Flute, joins Louisiana State University as a guest artist, where he sings Heurtebise in Philip Glass’s Orphée, and returns to Hub City Opera as the title character in Darius Milhaud's Le Pauvre Matelot and to Opéra Louisiane as the Four Servants 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.
