Mr. Brownlee's 2022-2023 season features multiple milestone Wagnerian debuts at Oper Frankfurt and The Dallas Opera..
WOTAN
Das Rheingold
THE DALLAS OPERA
Wotan
Das Rheingold
From the primordial depths of the Rhine to the glittering turrets of Valhalla—the world of the Teutonic gods is in chaos. The evil Alberich steals the magic gold from errant water sprites and forges it into a ring that gives the wearer unfathomable power. Now, everyone wants it—but anyone who gets it is cursed! Betrayal, cheating, illicit love, and murder…it’s all here in this first opera of Wagner’s iconic Ring Cycle. Nicholas Brownlee leads this all-star cast in a role debut as the chief god, Wotan. Music Director Emmanuel Villaume conducts this new production from The Atlanta Opera.

KASPAR
Der Freischütz
BAYERISCHE STAATSOPER
Kaspar
Der Freischütz
In a village community that holds firm to archaic customs, the young hunter Max must pass a marksmanship test so he may marry his sweetheart, Agathe. Of all times now when his shooting has been very much below par! Carl Maria von Weber and his librettist Friedrich Kind fluctuate between ghost story, fairy tale, fortune play and interplay between heaven and hell. Mr. Brownlee appears as Kaspar in Dmitri Tcherniakov's new production of Der Freischütz at the Bayerische Staatsoper.

LEPORELLO
Don Giovanni
OPER FRANKFURT
Leporello
Don Giovanni
Christof Loy places Mozart‘s opera in a baroque world, where terms like heaven, hell and God really meant something. Don Giovanni behaves like a blithe spirit who can’t be bothered with ethics or morals, whose anarchic lifestyle captivates, infects and changes the other characters forever. Mr. Brownlee appears as Leporello in Oper Frankfurt's production of Mozart's famous dramma giocoso, Don Giovanni.
May 12, 20, 25, & 29

FORESTER
The Cunning Little Vixen
OPER FRANKFURT
Forester
The Cunning Little Vixen
An energetic adolescent fox cub and a forester come into contact in Leoš Janáček’s impressionistic, beautiful opera. Lively and sensitive, poetic and speckled with irony it tells the eternal cycle of life and death. Director Ute M. Engelhardt brought the animal and human worlds even closer together while still managing to make the fantastic moments in the work, the characters’ longings, nightmares, dreams and fears come alive. Mr. Brownlee appears as the Forester in the Götz Friedrich Prize-winning production at Oper Frankfurt.

THE SANTA FE OPERA
Der Holländer
The Flying Dutchman
Condemned and sailing the stormy seas. Every seven years, a cursed and ghostly sea captain gets a chance at redemption. He needs a bride to break the curse. Can he find a woman pure of heart, or will he roam the seas eternally?
"The Flying Dutchman" has not been produced on the Santa Fe stage in more than 30 years. The new production is set during the Industrial Revolution. Former SFO apprentice singer Nicholas Brownlee will portray the Dutchman with Elza van den Heever as Senta.
