tenor Lucas Levy is gaining recognition for his “suave and dark” voice (La
Scena Musicale), and for being “a joy to watch” (Broadway World).
Upcoming performances include a debut with Painted Sky Opera as Younger
Thompson in Glory Denied.
The 2018-2019 season saw Mr. Levy return to St. Petersburg Opera as
Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi, and to Opera Maine for their 25th anniversary
season as Monostatos in Die Zauberflöte, where Opera News noted his
“vocally forward and strong” performance. He was also seen in performances
of Haydn’s Creation, Schubert’s Mass in G major, and Mozart’s Requiem.
His 2017-2018 season included his debut at Opera Omaha as Dr. Caius in
Falstaff. Later on in the season, Levy returned to St. Petersburg Opera, where
Broadway World said he was, “loads of fun,” as Marcellus Washburn in The
Music Man, and the Tampa Bay Times remarked on his, “operatic power,” as
Gastone in La traviata.
During the 2015-2016 season, Mr. Levy was an Apprentice Artist with
Sarasota Opera, where he performed Araldo in Verdi’s La battaglia di
Legnano, the final opera of Sarasota Opera’s 28-year Verdi Cycle. For their
Verdi Grand Finale Concert, he was one of the few soloists chosen to
participate. He concluded the season with a return to PORTopera as a
principal artist in the role of Le Remendado in Carmen.
The 2014-2015 season saw Mr. Levy join Sarasota Opera in their fall
production of Pagliacci to cover the leading role of Canio. He was
immediately reengaged for their Winter Festival to cover Prince Gvidon in
Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Golden Cockerel. His season continued as a Young
Artist with PORTopera in his second season with the company. He portrayed
the Trio Tenor in performances of Trouble in Tahiti in several locations
around Maine, followed by Spoletta in Tosca opposite James Morris as
Scarpia. The Portland Press Herald singled out his performance, saying,
“Levy brought a sadistic edge to Spoletta, a henchman of Scarpia’s who is
usually not worth noting.”
He made his professional debut with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis in the
spring of 2012. He sang the role of Duck in Jury in the North American
premiere of Unsuk Chin’s Alice in Wonderland, while also being responsible
for covering the tenor roles of Mouse, Dormouse, and Invisible Man.
No stranger to the concert stage, Mr. Levy has performed as soloist with
varied orchestras and ensembles for such seminal works as Handel’s Messiah,
Mendelssohn’s Elijah, and Mozart’s Requiem. An avid recitalist, he enjoys
the intimacy of presenting song repertoire not afforded to the operatic stage.
