Gregory Berbrandt excitedly returns home from New York to Colorado! After growing up in Greeley and having graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 1999, Gerbrandt performed in his first professional opera production, L'elisir d'amore, singing Belcore with Colorado Light Opera in Boulder. Coincidentally, Gerbrandt sings the same role with Opera Idaho next month. During the past year, Gerbrandt has performed around the country as Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia as well as Silvio in Pagliacci, both with Opera Fort Collins, The Revival Worker in Nashville Opera's world premiere of Elmer Gantry, Marcello in La bohème with Ash Lawn Opera in Virginia, and in concert singing Haydn's Paukenmesse with the Nebraska Choral Arts Society, and Composers & the Voice with American Opera Projects in NYC.

Future engagements consist of continued work with American Opera Projects in NYC, L'elisir d'amore with Opera Idaho, and both Bach's St. Matthew Passion (Jesus) and Handel's Messiah with the acclaimed Bethany College Oratorio Society.

Other recent engagements include performances of The Pirates of Penzance with Glimmerglass Opera, The Mikado with Central City Opera/Colorado Symphony Orchestra, and also with Opera Idaho, Pagliacci with Sarasota Opera, Die Fledermaus with Opera Fort Collins, the title role in Mendelssohn's Elijah with the Greeley Chorale and Orchestra, and as soloist in Faure's Requiem and Rutter's Mass of the Children with West Nebraska Masterworks Chorale and Orchestra.
