Praised for his “excellent baritone” (Le Devoir) and “outstanding acting” (Opera Canada), Acadian bass-baritone Nick Murphy is a rising name in Canada. Currently in residence with Calgary Opera’s McPhee Artist Development Program, Murphy looks forward to making his mainstage debut with the company as Maestro Spinelloccio and Pinellino in Gianni Schicchi. Recent roles include Don Bartolo in The Barber of Seville with Brott Opera and Highlands Opera Studio, and Pandolfe in Cendrillon and Don Magnifico in La Cenerentola with Opera McGill. This past season he placed as a finalist in the Wirth Vocal Prize, Atelier lyrique’s Talent Gala, and the Canadian Opera Company’s Ensemble Studio Competition.
