Baritone Theodore Baerg has laid claim to a career of major proportion, with the New York Philharmonic, San Francisco Opera and Glyndebourne Festival just three of his international destinations. Kurt Masur conducted him in his New York Philharmonic debut as Count Homonay in Strauss' ZIGEUNERBARON in the Summer At Lincoln Center Series and he has since been invited back to the Lincoln Center Festival for FIDELIO, again with Masur conducting. He first appeared at the Glyndebourne Festival as Ramiro in Ravel's L'HEURE ESPAGNOLE and for the San Francisco Opera, he was Der Musiklehrer in ARIADNE AUF NAXOS. Other roles for the San Francisco Opera include Sharpless in MADAMA BUTTERFLY, Ned Keene in PETER GRIMES, Danilo in DIE LUSTIGE WITWE and Ping in TURANDOT. He was in Calgary and Edmonton for Malatesta in DON PASQUALE and starred in the title role of WOZZECK for Pacific Opera Victoria. The busy baritone was featured in Tampa, Thunder Bay, Quebec City and Hamilton (Brott Summer Music) in CARMINA BURANA while concerts devoted to Cole Porter and Viennese light classics took him to Vancouver and Edmonton.
Ted, absolutely beautiful, and I say this as a guy who has played this role.

(Would love to have 1% of this talent.) He seems a bit congested or the audio is a bit muffled in this recording. Wish there were more solos for bass/baritone.
