Opera News describes veteran baritone Mark Walters as “a force to be reckoned with” as Don Carlo in La forza del destino. He has performed over 60 operatic roles in the standard repertoire at leading companies in the US and abroad and has been praised for his interpretations of Rigoletto with Florida Grand Opera, Don Giovanni with Seattle Opera, Germont in La traviata with Bergen National Opera, Norway, Scarpia in Tosca with Minnesota Opera and Don Pizzaro in Fidelio with the Boston Baroque Orchestra. Walters has sung in many modern works and premieres such as El Niño by John Adams with the Spoleto Festival USA, Rappahannock County by Ricky Ian Gordon with the Virginia Arts Festival and The Shining by Paul Moravec with the Minnesota Opera. Upcoming performances include the Verdi Requiem with the Portland Symphony and the Mozart Requiem with the Long Beach Symphony.
