Heldentenor Kevin Hanek was a 2010 Grantee of the International Festival Society, and recently returned from a European audition tour, where he sang his first stage auditions for the Opéra National de Paris, English National Opera, and Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu. He will debut the title role in Verdi’s Otello in June 2012 in a new production with the Delaware Valley Opera, where he performed two recitals of German lieder this past spring. Mr. Hanek was represented by Hubbard-Levine Management for the 2008–2010 seasons, and debuted as tenor soloist in performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Reno Philharmonic in April 2010. He performed Erik in a staged concert version of Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer at New York’s Bechstein Piano Centre, appeared as Riccardo in Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera and Radamès in Aïda in staged productions with Bulgaria’s Burgas Philharmonic Orchestra, and sang the Majordomo in the New York premiere of Hans Werner Henze’s The End of a World (Das Ende einer Welt) with Encompass New Opera Theatre. Kevin Hanek received an Emerging Artist Grant from the Hillsborough County Arts Council for his debut recital with pianist Norman Shetler, and performed with the Sarasota Opera as an Apprentice Artist.

“Kevin Hanek has thrown his hat into the ring as a young, powerful Heldentenor, and rightly so. The grandeur of his vocal style, musicality, size and color of voice, plus impeccable musicianship, make him a rare combination of talent and intellect. I will watch his career with great interest.”

—Carol Kirkpatrick, dramatic soprano, former leading singer with San Francisco Opera, New York voice teacher, and author of Aria Ready: The Business of Singing
