John Brancy has been hailed by the New York Times as “a vibrant, resonant presence” and a “dashing, strong-voiced baritone”. The 2014-2015 season saw him with debuts at Edmonton Opera as Papageno in Die Zauberflöte and at Opera Lyra Ottawa as Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro. Brancy’s numerous concert engagements included a debut with Musica Sacra in Handel’s Messiah at Carnegie Hall and a recital tour with pianist Peter Dugan, where they presented a special tribute to the centennial anniversary of World War I, presented by VocalArts DC at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, CAIC in Chicago and Société d’art Vocal de Montréal. Recently, John Brancy performed in the title role of Tobias Picker’s Fantastic Mr Fox at San Antonio Opera and in recitals with Steven Blier at the New York Festival of Song.
