Brian Mulligan

A voice that is rich, secure and really, really big"

The New York Times

Baritone Brian Mulligan is equally renowned as an interpreter of classic works by Verdi, Wagner, and Strauss as well as of the most challenging twentieth and twenty-first century operas. His striking stage portrayals have taken him to leading opera houses throughout Europe and North America. He makes regular appearances with the leading US orchestras and in recital.

Brian Mulligan begins the 2018/19 season in recital with Vocal Arts DC at the Kennedy Center with pianist Timothy Long. He presents the world premiere of Walden by Gregory Spears, a work written for him based on texts by iconic American writer Henry David Thoreau. The recital also features From the Diary of Virginia Woolf by Dominick Argento, which Mulligan recently recorded on an acclaimed disc for Naxos.
