Anthony Roth Costanzo re-created the demanding title role of Philip Glass' monumental opera Akhnaten at the Met to universal acclaim, and now makes his Bay Area recital debut. With a childhood background in Broadway and a Grammy(R) Award to his credit, he deeply understands how to get inside musical characters and deliver captivating performances. He presents a varied program of historic and contemporary works including an homage to Barbra Streisand. "Costanzo's vocal range is what makes his performances truly shine" (NPR).
Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo began performing professionally at the age of 11 and has since appeared in opera, concert, recital, film, and on Broadway. He is a recipient of the 2020 Beverly Sills Award from the Metropolitan Opera, and a winner of the 2020 Opera News Award.
