WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME TENOR FRÉDÉRIC ANTOUN TO THE DEAN ARTISTS MANAGEMENT ROSTER!
Praised for his “radiant high notes...equal to any heard on international stages today” (Opera Canada), Frédéric Antoun appears regularly on the leading stages of the world including the Metropolitan Opera, Opéra national de Paris, Salzburg Festival, Wiener Staatsoper, and the Canadian Opera Company.
The 2023 - 2024 season sees Antoun return to Opéra national de Paris as Raúl in Thomas Adès’ The Exterminating Angel, a role he premiered at the Salzburg Festival and, subsequently, at the Royal Opera House and Metropolitan Opera. This season Antoun also reprises two signature roles - Caliban in Adès’s The Tempest at Wiener Staatsoper and Don Ottavio in Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Savonlinna Opera Festival.
This past season he sang Caliban in The Tempest at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, Gérald in Lakmé and Don José in Carmen at Paris’ Opéra Comique, Narraboth in Salome at the Canadian Opera Company, and Mozart’s Requiem at Berlin’s Konzerthaus.
Antoun is equally at home on the concert stage where his repertoire includes Handel’s Messiah, Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri, Berlioz’s L’enfance du Christ and Requiem, Beethoven’s Symphony No.9, Mozart’s Requiem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, and Bach’s Magnificat and St. Matthew and St. John Passions. He has notably worked with conductors Bertrand de Billy, Johannes Debus, Gustavo Dudamel, Emmanuelle Haïm, Philippe Jordan, Marc Minkowski, Kent Nagano, Yannick Nezet-Séguin, Antonio Pappano, Jérémie Rhorer, Carlo Rizzi, and François-Xavier Roth.
