BRANCH FIELDS
Colline / La Bohème

Bass-baritone Branch Fields won grants to study and perform at opera theatres in Chiari, Lucca and Rome and went on to win prizes from three national voice competitions: The New Jersey Alliance of Performing Artists, The Liederkranz Foundation and the Annamaria Saritelli-DiPanni Bel Canto Competition. He served as an artist/faculty member for the Operafestival di Roma, singing Don Basilio (Il Barbiere Di Siviglia), where he won the 2001 National Opera Association Award for Best Opera Production by a University or Regional Opera Company. He regularly appears on the concert platform and has sung Brahms Requiem and Handel’s Messiah with the Santa Fe Symphony. Opera on the James welcomes him as Colline in our spring proformance of La Boheme.
