Opera Singer and Performer
David Cangelosi
David Cangelosi was a strong-voiced Noctambulist and Pope of Fools, singing with more irony and seductiveness…(his) long hair and white suit made this rogue foppishly elegant.
Opera News
The other high-lying male role is filled by David Cangelosi. His voice is unusually rich and powerful…
Theater Jones
The remarkable David Cangelosi etched yet another vivid and strongly sung characterization as the goofy scientist, Spalanzani.

Biography
David Cangelosi has firmly established himself as an artist who combines both excellent singing with winning characterizations. He is highly acclaimed by major opera companies and symphony orchestras in the U.S. and abroad, particularly for his portrayal of Mime in Wagner’s Ring Cycle.
Additionally, Mr. Cangelosi serves as the Artistic/Program Director of the Vann Vocal Institute in Montgomery, Alabama, and actively travels the country as a recitalist, symphonic guest-artist, competition adjudicator, and Master Class instructor for aspiring vocalists.
Reviews
“The dwarf Mime (brilliantly sung and acted by David Cangelosi, possibly the greatest Mime ever) is living with his ‘adopted son’, Siegfried, in the shell of a small trailer.”…”Nobody has ever been more effective or as amusing than David Cangelosi as Mime; he made every minute of this often annoying role a total pleasure.”
Opera Review: Siegfried (Cycle II), San Francisco Opera
Opera West
“I was impressed with the energy and physicality of David Cangelosi as the four servants as well. Cangelosi stole the whole show.”
Opera Review: The Tales of Hoffmann, Santa Fe Opera
Out West Arts
“As the First Jew, David Cangelosi revealed vocal resources superior to those of most character tenors.”

Swift-enstein or Franken-Swift?

Included among these are: Bravo Broadway (Grant Park Music Festival) Clouds in My Coffee (Ravinia Festival) South Shore Dance Company (Auditorium Theater), To Kill a Mockingbird (CIBC Theater), Chicago Sound […]
The Highest of Compliments
It is sometimes hard to know–in a full sense–what kind of impact you make as an artist on your audiences and critics; and while feedback from one’s colleagues is often immediate…and generous…sometimes you are blown away by learning (several years later) just how you may have inspired a rising star. Case in point: In a […]

Slow Down, You Move Too Fast
In 1966, or 1970–depending upon which release date you choose–music lovers of a certain age will remember a tuneful little song with a simple message. That message being: “Just enjoy the moment”. (In this particular case, the ‘morning time’ specifically…but we can broaden that inspiration to encompass the entire day as far as I am […]
New York (Up) State-of-Mind
I’m busy putting the finishing touches on Das Wunder der Heliane (Korngold) which will have its U.S. Premiere in August at the Bard Music Festival (‘SummerScape’) under the baton of Maestro Leon Botstein.
