Andrew W. Potter
Bass Andrew Potter has garnered increasing demand across the country for his larger-than-life stage presence with a voice to match. Last season, Mr. Potter made his Florida Grand Opera début as Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte, returned to Seattle Opera as Panthée in Les Troyens, took his Angelotti in Tosca to Richmond Symphony, joined Opera Omaha to sing the Commendatore in Don Giovanni, and joined the roster of The Metropolitan Opera to cover Sarastro in Simon McBurney’s Die Zauberflöte. This season, he returns to The Metropolitan Opera to cover Timur in Turandot, and he débuts with Los Angeles Dream Orchestra to sing the same role in their semi-staged concert production of Turandot. In addition, he will return to Dallas Opera as the Jailer/Javelinot/Thierry in Dialogues of the Carmelities, début with New Orleans Opera as Baron Ochs in Der Rosenkavalier, sing Basilio in Il barbiere di Siviglia with Nashville Opera, and return to Opera Omaha for his role début as Blitch in Susannah.
“…his huge, oily, black, genuine bass shook the rafters…”
Faust – “Like any good Liu in “Turandot” or Azucena in “Trovatore”, a great Mephistopheles will usually steal the show in any “Faust”. Towering at 6’10” and not the least bit creepy looking, Andrew Potter’s tour de force performance would stand tall on any of the biggest and best operatic stages in the world today. His huge, oily, black, genuine bass shook the rafters, and his sinister murder of Marguerite’s illegitimate baby (nice touch!) sent shivers down one’s spine. Any celebrity bass from this role’s glorious history would be so proud of him and his continuing in the grand manner they established!”
