About

Praised for his "impressive, oaky, resonant" voice, Stan's debut with Bronx Opera as Sid (Albert Herring) garnered praise as "handsome" and "hot-blooded," and was heralded as a "sensual" portrayal of a "working class ladies' man." Stan was also recently heard in the roles of Tarquinius (Rape of Lucretia), Lescaut (Manon), Betto (Gianni Schicchi), and Ping (Turandot). At home in difficult, contemporary repertoire, Stan recently sang Mittelstaedt in the American premiere of Nancy Van de Vate's All Quiet on the Western Front. He created the role of Remo in Haim Elisha's new serialist opera A Certain Quiet (2015). In concert he has sung Elijah, Liebeslieder Walzer, and Messiah, as well as works of Vaughan-Williams, Howells, and Ariel Ramírez.

In 2016, Stan co-founded New Camerata Opera and has devoted himself to performances and administrative roles with that company ever since. He is the proud father to a precocious 3 year old daughter, Megan.

Music

I have a particular affinity for the British composers, Vaughan Williams and Britten; am well versed in German lieder, especially Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann. In French repertoire, I sing many works by DuParc, Fauré, and Ravel. I love to sing an occasional broadway song or aria on a recital program, especially Cole Porter or Rogers and Hammerstein. Recently, I have performed several songs of Charles IVes with renowned Ives scholar Neely Bruce.
