My Biography
Andrew Potter, bass has garnered increasing demand across the country for his larger than life stage presence and voice to match. Of his recent performance in L’elisir d’amore, Opera Today hailed, “With his huge, all‐encompassing bass voice and precise comic timing he nearly stole the show.”
This past season, Andrew has been one of the lucky ones to be able to continue to perform, in addition to a series of virtual concerts, he joined Opera Santa Barbara as the title role in Don Pasquale, Pacific Opera Project as Sam in Trouble in Tahiti, and Southern Illinois Festival for Covid fan Tutte. Next, he will perform Simone in Gianni Schicchi as well as Pastor Avery in Tobias Picker’s Emmeline with Tulsa Opera, Il Commendatore in Don Giovanni with Indianapolis Opera, René, King of Provence in Iolanta with Pacific Opera Project, and Sparafucile in Rigoletto with Orlando Opera.
