The San Francisco Chronicle praises Matthew Polenzani’s “wonderfully fresh and robust voice, with clarion top notes and a gift for sweet phrasing.” He is the recipient of the 2004 Richard Tucker Award, the Metropolitan Opera’s 2008 Beverly Sills Artist Award, and a 2017 Opera News Award. Polenzani’s 2017–18 season included appearances at Lyric Opera of Chicago in Rigoletto and Les pêcheurs de perles, the Metropolitan Opera in L’elisir d’amore, and Opernhaus Zürich in Luisa Miller. Highlights this season include Idomeneo at Lyric Opera, Iolanta and La clemenza di Tito at the Met, and his role debut as Don José in Carmen with San Francisco Opera. In this master class, Polenzani coaches Bienen School voice and opera program students in scenes from beloved operas.
