A native of a tiny town in the heart of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Jeremy J. Moore has been critically hailed as “terrific,” “a standout,” “engaging,” and even “amusing” by the New York Times.  “With a top notch voice,” “eloquently sung,” “combining leading man looks with genuine comic timing and a superior voice made him worth the ride alone.”  He began studying voice with Jeanne Kostelic in 1989.  He made his operatic debut in the title role of Amahl and the Night Visitors at age ten.  His performance experience continued to grow with the addition of numerous lead roles in children’s operas with the Aspen Opera Theatre Center, under the direction of Edward Berkeley, Carol Castel and Lawrence Foster, to name a few.  Since then he has performed extensively in opera, oratorio, solo recitals, and solo and ensemble concerts throughout the United States and abroad.

Recent opera engagements include staged productions of Les Pêcheurs de Perles (Zurga) with Taconic Opera; the title role in Don Giovanni with Delaware Valley Opera; The Merry Widow (Danilo) with Pineda Lyric Opera; Fra Diavolo (Le Comte), the New York stage premier of Die Drei Pintos (Ambrosio) by Gustav Mahler, The Magic Flute (Papageno), Pagliacci (Silvio), Orpheus in the Underworld (John Styx), and Carmen (Morales) with the Bronx Opera Company; and La Boheme (Schaunard), Hansel & Gretel (the Father), and Amahl and the Night Visitors (Melchior) with Opera Company of the Highlands.  Concert performances include Lakmé (Frédéric) with the Connecticut Concert Opera; L’elisir d’amore (Sgt. Belcore) and Il barbiere di Siviglia (Figaro) with the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra; Act III of La Boheme (Marcello) in Merkin Concert Hall, Little Women (John Brooke), and Midsummer Night’s Dream (Demetrius) with the dell’Arte Opera Ensemble; and Rigoletto (Marullo) with Opera Company of the Highlands. Mr. Moore made his European debut singing La finta giardiniera (Nardo) and Die Zauberflöte (Papageno) in Salzburg, Austria.  Mr. Moore has twice been invited to sing for and to work with Mr. Hans Nieuwenhuis at the Opera Studio Nederland in Amsterdam.

Mr. Moore’s oratorio work includes recent guest performances of the baritone solos in Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem and Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Long Island Choral Society.  For the 2010/2011 season he was the featured soloist and Artist-in-Residence with the LICS, performing works by Duruflé, Haydn, Händel and Orff.  He has been heard singing the bass solos in Händel’s Messiah with The Orchestra of the Bronx at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts and in the grand Cadet Chapel at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY.  Mr. Moore has performed as the guest artist for both the State University of New York and the City University of New York College Choirs in Carmina Burana and in excerpts from Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem respectively.  He has been featured with the Aspen Choral Society and Orchestra, Aspen, Colorado, in three world premiers of oratorios composed and conducted by Ray Vincent Adams, including baritone material written specifically for him, in addition to soloing for thirteen annual presentations of Händel’s Messiah.

Mr. Moore’s training has included several years studying and living in Germany, Austria and The Netherlands, during which time, in addition to voice, he studied the German and Italian language and culture.  Recently he was an apprentice artist with Bel Canto at Caramoor, and previously he spent five years working with the Berkshire Choral Festival in Santa Fe, NM, Sheffield, MA and Salzburg, Austria.  In 2009 Mr. Moore won the Connecticut Concert Opera’s Artistic Director’s Award and was a finalist in the Connecticut Opera Guild Competition, The New York Lyric Opera Competition, and The Schuyler Foundation for Career Bridges.  He has received a number of grants and awards from The Allied Arts, Inc. of Denver, Colorado.

Mr. Moore currently resides in New York with his wife, Heather, and continues his studies with Mr. John Cheek of the Metropolitan Opera.
