Wilmington’s GRANT YOUNGBLOOD is no stranger to OD and BCO stages, with stunning, critically acclaimed performances in the title role of Macbeth (OD & BCO, 2013), Scarpia in Tosca (OD, 2010), and Luigi in Il tabarro (OD, 2018).
See why the Broad Street Review calls him “a perfect Verdi baritone with a chocolaty chiaroscuro of both darkness and brilliance” as he performs an intimate, introspective recital of personal favorites with pianist AURELIEN EULERT, including pieces by DeBlasio, Duparc, Ravel, and more. Join us after the performance for a Q&A with Grant Youngblood.
