“A talent of the first order” (Tom Cipullo), baritone Scott Hetz Clark has captivated audiences around the world with his versatile vocal talent and showmanship. He has brought his "youthful and powerful baritone voice" (Thüringische Landeszeitung) to many notable performances including Mayo Buckner in Tom Cipullo's Mayo Buckner: A Life Interrupted, Don Giovanni in Don Giovanni, Papageno in Die Zauberflöte, Sulpice in La fille du régiment, Sid in Albert Herring, Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro, and Sweeney Todd in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Scott’s most recent engagements include his return to the historic Seagle Festival in upstate New York where he worked directly with composer Tom Cipullo, his company debut at Opera Naples as a Resident Artist, and his Lincoln Center debut with Teatro Nuovo, where he won praise for his performance of Don Asdrubale in the rarely performed Ricci Brothers' comedic opera Crispino e la comare. He has collaborated with Sarasota Opera, Opera Baltimore, Maryland Opera, Bel Cantanti Opera, Prague Summer Nights, the Castleton Festival, and the Lyric Opera Studio Weimar. This season, Scott will return to New York City to cover the title role in Don Giovanni with Teatro Nuovo, and will sing the role of Yamadori in Madama Butterfly with the Maryland Opera.
