John Moore
BaritoneA regular performer in both Europe and the United States, John Moore is garnering praise for his energetic performances and burnished baritone in both operatic and concert repertoire. He is a graduate of the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Program. During the 2024–25 season, Moore makes his Lyric Opera of Chicago debut as Dillon in Mazzoli and Vavrek’s The Listeners, and returns to Opera Philadelphia for performances of the same role. He also debuts with Washington National Opera as Steve Jobs in The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, a role he has sung across the United States to great acclaim. With Odyssey Opera and Boston Modern Orchestra Project, he will perform and record the role of Kinesias in Mark Adamo’s Lysistrata. He joins the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra twice this season, for concerts of Handel’s Messiah followed later by performances of Poulenc’s Le bal masqué. Future seasons include his debut with the Finnish National Opera. On the concert stage, he has appeared at Carnegie Hall with the Oratorio Society of New York under the direction of Kent Tritle, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, and CMS. He was the baritone soloist in the American premiere of Juraj Filas’s Oratorio Spei with Sacred Music in a Sacred Space. Mr. Moore has also given recitals at his alma mater, Simpson College, People’s Symphony Concerts in New York, and Brooklyn Friends of Chamber Music, and has toured with Musicians from Marlboro. In addition, Mr. Moore took part in a studio recording of Peter Lieberson’s The Coming of Light with CCM, and premiered Lieberson’s The Coming of Light with Chicago Chamber Musicians.
