Rising operatic tenor Christopher Oglesby explores the concept of “home” through time, place, heritage, and circumstance with the music of Ralph Vaughn Williams, Richard Strauss, Benjamin Britten and the Appalachian folksong repertory. Christopher sings in a wide range of vocal styles, from operatic, to jazz, to folk and rock. Larger works include Vaughan Williams’ On Wenlock Edge, and Strauss' 6 Lieder aus Lotosblätter, Op 19.

For this program, he will be joined by noted pianist collaborator Kseniia Polstiankina Barrad; both Christopher and Keseniia are recent graduates of the San Francisco Opera Adler Fellowship program.

For the 2024 season, Christopher will be performing in numerous productions of San Francisco Opera, including in Puccini’s “La bohème”, Händel’s “Partenope”, Tamino in Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”, Bridegroom in Saariaho’s “Innocence”, Chief Magistrate in Verdi’s “Un ballo in maschera ” and Luke in Ruders’ & Bentley’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
