This season, he makes four role debuts, including: Andronico in Bajazet (Vivaldi), Egeo in Il Giasone (Cavalli), Conte Almaviva in Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Rossini), and the Amalekite in Saul (Händel). He will also perform as the tenor soloist in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in co-production between Theater an der Wien and the Hamburg Ballett, in a production choreographed by the revered John Neumeier. Praised for his “vocal agility”, Morstein began his 2019-2020 season as the tenor soloist in the Beethoven Ninth Symphony with the Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Victor Yampolsky. He then performed the tenor solo in the revered Janaček piece The Diary of One Who Disappeared in a collaborative performance with Phillip Matsuura. A recent graduate of Northwestern University (MM ‘20), Andrew appeared as: Peter Quint in Turn of the Screw, Tom in Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress, Bènèdict in Berlioz’s Bèatrice et Bènèdict, and Alfred in Die Fledermaus. Other appearances in 2018-2019 included his professional debut as Telemachus/City Man in Patrick Morganelli’s Hercules vs. Vampires with Nashville Opera (2018), and as Ramiro in La Cenerentola with Opera NEO (2019) . A versatile singer and musician, Andrew is equally comfortable on the jazz or pop stage as he is the opera stage; he has been heard as a soloist at such notable venues as The Greek Theatre, Town Hall (NYC), Wolf Trap, and international stages alike.
