Tenor Taka Komagata brightens classical music internationally with his sincere vocal style. His colorful voice and genuine expressions bring new life to his repertoire. He recently made his European debut as Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi conducted by Gregory Buchalter from the Metropolitan Opera in Varna, Bulgaria. This coming spring, he will perform the role of Curzio (Le nozze di Figaro) with Vox New England. Recent selected engagements include Ferrando (Così fan tutte), Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni), King Kasper (Amahl and the Night Visitors), Baron Zsupán (Countess Maritza), the title role in Der Zwerg, and the leading male role of Charles in The Finishing School.
Mr. Komagata is the co-founder of Balcony Series, an artistic troupe delivering timeless classical compositions to unsuspecting listeners through impromptu performances. The series builds spontaneous bridges between everyday life and the experience of classical music by catering to audiences who would otherwise not seek out the genre.
