Résumé

Stephen Rumph has established himself as a
leading tenor in opera, oratorio, and concert. The Tacoma News Tribune
called his singing "soaringly beautiful, unspeakably tender as Puccini should
be." The San Francisco Classical Voice wrote that his "incisive,
well-controlled tenor was joined to lovely legato phrasing," and the San
Francisco Chronicle reported that he "launched into the vocal stratosphere
fearlessly, with excellent results." Mr. Rumph recently made his Seattle
Symphony debut in Bach's Cantata 171. Recent operatic credits include
Don José (Carmen) and Tamino (The Magic Flute) with Skagit Valley
Opera, Rodolfo (La Bohème) and Orpheus (Orpheus in the Underworld)
with Tacoma Opera, Consulo and Familiare (L'incoronazione di Poppea) with
the Early Music Guild, Alfred (Die Fledermaus) and David (Die
Meistersinger) with Berkeley Opera, and Aeneas (Dido and Aeneas) with
Whitman College. This season he will sing La Boheme with Skagit
Valley Opera and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with
Northwest Sinfonietta, a work he has performed with the Tacoma Symphony and Port
Angeles Symphony. He has sung Mozart's Requiem with both the Walla Walla
Symphony and Northwest Sinfonietta, Das Lied von der Erde with the
Northwest Mahler Festival, Handel's Messiah and Rachmaninoff's The
Bells with Tacoma Symphony, Bach's Mass in B Minor with the Lake
Chelan Bach Fest, Beethoven's Mass in C with both Orchestra Seattle and
the Kirkland Choral Society, Puccini and Verdi selections with the Federal Way
Symphony, and the Evangelist in Bach's St. John Passion with Seattle
Choral Company. |
