KELLAN DUNLAP TENOR

Praised for his “impressive tenor with a flowing, bright delivery” and “commanding stage presence” (Opera Today), American tenor Kellan Dunlap is building a vibrant career in opera and song. A current member of the Internationales Opernstudio at the Staatstheater Nürnberg, his recent roles include Gastone (La Traviata), Monostatos (Die Zauberflöte), and Sellem (The Rake’s Progress) at The Glimmerglass Festival, where critics hailed his “harrowing, yet hilarious mix of professionalism and effrontery” (CounterPunch).

Currently a member of the Internationales Opernstudio at Staatstheater Nürnberg, Dunlap has performed with major U.S. companies including Des Moines Metro Opera, The Glimmerglass Festival, and OPERA San Antonio, bringing powerful storytelling and vocal artistry to each role.

An acclaimed recitalist, Dunlap made his international recital debut at London’s renowned Wigmore Hall. He was later awarded a Presser Foundation grant to tour his original program Even the Trees Weep, exploring the emotional impact of school shootings in collaboration with pianist Lyndsi Maus.
