Joseph Lattanzi

A 2017 recipient of a top prize from the Sullivan Foundation, Joseph Lattanzi established himself as a singer to watch with his portrayal of Hawkins Fuller in the world premiere of Greg Spears' Fellow Travelers with Cincinnati Opera, followed by further performances for his debut with Lyric Opera of Chicago. Praise for his performances included The New York Times saying "Joseph Lattanzi was splendid as Hawk, his buttery baritone luxuriant and robust." and Opera News described him as a "confident, handsome presence, and a resonant baritone suggesting wells of feeling that the character might prefer to leave untapped." Recent projects include Seattle Opera's film of Jonathan Dove's Flight and his role debut as Silvio in Pagliacci with Atlanta Opera. Other recent engagements include Dandini in La Cenerentola for Virginia Opera, the title role in Don Giovanni with Jacksonville Symphony, and Count Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro for Cincinnati Opera. Lattanzi has been a regular at The Metropolitan Opera since the 2018/19 Season including productions of Der Rosenkavalier, Madama Butterfly, Marnie, and Kat'a Kabanova. A regular with Arizona Opera, Lattanzi was a member of the Marion Roose Pullin Studio from 2015 - 2017. Appearances with the company include Hawkins in Fellow Travelers, Lt. Audebert in Silent Night, the title role in Don Giovanni, Dandini, and Riolobo in Florencia en el Amazonas.
