Tenor
BEN
BLISS
Mr. Bliss was most recently praised as "a peer of the best Toms in the opera’s seven-decade history" (Voix des Arts) in The Rake's Progress at the The Metropolitan Opera, where he returns for the 2025-2026 season in Don GIovanni. He will make two anticipated role debuts: Duke in Rigoletto with the Canadian Opera Company, and the title role in Idomeneo with Washington Concert Opera, as well as appearances with Houston Grand Opera, Chicago Symphony, LA Opera, and more.
"In the title role, tenor Ben Bliss showed his beautiful vocal colour, the breadth of his register and his interpretative effectiveness."

"Bliss has been singing Mozart for years, and at this point has a fine balance between boyish lightness and a sense of maturity."
THE METROPOLITAN OPERa presents:
DIE
ZAUBERFLÖte
March 23 - April 26, 2025
Simon McBurney’s uproarious full-length German-language production of Mozart’s beloved fable—with its ingenious theatrical concoction of projections, puppetry, and special effects—returns to the Met stage following its celebrated 2023 premiere. Tenor Ben Bliss and soprano Golda Schultz are the noble lovers Tamino and Pamina, and baritone Thomas Oliemans repeats his animated portrayal of the outlandish bird catcher Papageno. Soprano Kathryn Lewek reprises her hair-raising turn as the Queen of the Night, Stephen Milling is the priest Sarastro, and Evan Rogister conducts.
