About this Artist
Praised by The Wall Street Journal for his “ardent, heroic tenor and strong acting,” Brandon Jovanovich appears regularly at the world’s leading opera companies in passionate stage portrayals of leading roles in French, Italian, German, and Slavic opera.
In the 2024/25 season, Jovanovich returns to Opernhaus Zürich to reprise the role of Bacchus in Ariadne auf Naxos. Later in the season he stars as Captain Ahab in composer Jake Heggie’s adaptation of Herman Melville’s epic Moby Dick at the Metropolitan Opera. In Munich, Jovanovich performs in the house premiere of Pénélope by Fauré at the Bayerische Staatsoper.
Jovanovich opened the 2023/24 season returning to Teatro alla Scala in the title role in Peter Grimes, followed by performances as Gherman in a new production of The Queen of Spades opposite Asmik Grigorian and later Lise Davidsen at Bayerische Staatsoper. Jovanovich reprised Don José in Carmen for his return to Covent Garden and returned to Staatsoper Berlin as Dick Johnson in Lydia Steier’s production of La Fanciulla del West. On the concert stage, he sang Siegmund in a concert performance of Die Walküre with Kirill Petrenko and the Berlin Philharmonic in Baden-Baden.
Jovanovich has had much success with concert work throughout Europe and the US in works including Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder as well as Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 and Das Lied von der Erde. He has performed Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 at venues across the US and Europe with the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, and the St. Louis Symphony.
