“a mellifluous revelation…”
- San Francisco Classical Voice
“And talk about a demonic-in-presence but pure-sounding baritone: Ryan Wolfe oozed smarm and menace in equal proportion, his spot-on delivery a mellifluous revelation. His sociopathic Tarquinius was goaded by the duplicitous Junius, himself berated as a cuckold.”
“Ryan Wolfe was impressive as the Count, a commanding presence vocally and physically whenever he was onstage.”
“Ryan Wolfe successfully essayed multiple roles, each benefitting from his well-tutored, polished baritone”
AT A GLANCE
Arlington Heights, Illinois native Ryan Wolfe has been commended for his “commanding presence”, “spot-on delivery”, and his “well-tutored, polished baritone”. During his two years as a Domingo-Colburn-Stein Young Artist at LA Opera, Ryan amassed over forty performances with the company from leading roles to comprimario roles including a morning-of jump-in for the final dress rehearsal as the title role in El último sueño de Frida y Diego. Ryan has been seen with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Des Moines Metro Opera, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and the Richmond Symphony to name a few. He has won an Encouragement Award in the Central Region Finals of the Dominique and Eric Laffont Competition and is a two-time semi-finalist of the Lotte Lenya Competition.
Ryan’s 2024-2025 season begins with his company debut with Wolf Trap Opera as Lt. Gordon in Kevin Puts’ Silent Night. He then returns to LA Opera as the Registrar in Madama Butterfly followed by Count Paris in Roméo et Juliette. In March of 2025, Ryan will debut with the LA Master Chorale as the baritone soloist in Orff’s Carmina Burana at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
