Shuo Wang, a tenor, is a Doctor of Musical Arts candidate at the University of Florida, where he studies under Christopher Pfund. He previously trained with the renowned James Morris at the Manhattan School of Music, earning his Master of Music degree, and completed his Bachelor of Music at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music in China.
On the operatic stage, Shuo has performed a wide variety of leading roles. His credits include Tamino in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, Dorvil in Rossini’s La scala di seta, Nerone in Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea, Ferrando in Mozart’s Così fan tutte, and Orpheus in Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld. Additional highlights include Rinuccio in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi, Aeneas in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Alfred in Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, and Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. These roles showcase his versatility across Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and twentieth-century repertoire.
Beyond his stage work, Shuo has shown success in competitions. He was awarded first prize at the Vivaldi Voice Competition in Italy, second place at the 11th National Opera Vocal Competition in China. He was named a grant winner by Career Bridges in New York City.
As a scholar-performer, Shuo is equally dedicated to teaching and research. His doctoral work examines the intersection of vocal pedagogy and second-language acquisition, reflecting his conviction that voice study is both an artistic and intellectual discipline.
