Russell Braun

Russell Braun embodies the classical world done right. Born in Frankfurt and trained at the University of Toronto, this lyric baritone has graced the Metropolitan Opera, the Salzburg Festival and l'Opéra de Paris, the genuine major houses. What draws me is the baritone register itself: not the showy brilliance of a tenor, but a grounded voice that can carry the full nuance of being human. Officer of the Order of Canada and a Juno Award winner, he has earned both technical and public esteem. The arc of a German-born artist becoming a Canadian treasure carries real romance, and I would relish hearing that voice live.
