| Jerett Gieseler, baritone... | |
b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up June 2010 American baritone Jerett Gieseler has been hailed as one of the most promising young baritones today, with "a powerful voice" of "great dignity and lyrical intensity" (allartsreview4u.com). Gieseler is a winner of the 2009 Liederkranz Vocal Competition, Wagner Division; the 2009 Gerda Lissner International Vocal Competition, Wagner Division; the 2007 Chester Ludgin Memorial Verdi Baritone Competition; and the recipient of two grants from the Wagner Society of New York. Highlights of season 2010/11 include the role of Marcello in La Boh ème with Stockton Opera as well as Almaviva in La nozze di Figaro at Annapolis Opera. During the 2009/10 season, Gieseler portrayed Scarpia in Tosca with Annapolis Opera and the title role of Macbeth with Taconic Opera, NY. He also sang the lead role in the world-premiere production of Maurice Saylor’s one-act opera Unfinished Sermons at Walker Chapel United Methodist Church in Arlington, VA, and William Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast with the Handel Society of the Dartmouth College. Recent engagements have included two critically acclaimed concerts of Wagnerian arias under the auspices of the Evelyn Lear and Thomas Stewart Emerging Singers Program in Washington DC, Germont in La Traviata with Bel Cantanti Opera in Washington DC, and Tonio in I Pagliacci with The Bronx Opera Company. Gieseler holds a Master's degree in voice from Manhattan School of Music and a Bachelor's degree in voice from Morehead State University, Kentucky.

“If there was a winner for the evening it was baritone Jerett Gieseler who was uppermost in his dramatic flare. He has a powerful voice and he uses excellent phrase breathing. He covers dramatic phrases perfectly so that they give the listener ‘goosebumps’.” “.....but the real event was last night's concert. I've been to many (maybe 5 or 6) of the Emerging Singers Concerts over these many years, but I'm not sure I have heard any to equal that one. At such events one guesses which of the young singers might make it to the Met as a headliner. My pick last night was the baritone, Jerett Gieseler, who sang arias from "Dutchman" and "Parsifal." He's ready for prime time now.” “Baritone Jerett Gieseler displayed a warm baritone and showed that singing is at the center of La Traviata." “Baritone Jerett Gieseler was Alfredo’s father Giorgio Germont. Gieseler has a fine stage presence, and a voice of great dignity and lyrical intensity." “Baritone Jerett Gieseler was best overall in voice, style and dramatic effect with his "Das Rheingold" which was even topped by his second presentation of "Parsifal."
