“ the stentorian bass-baritone Daniel Klein”
“an unusually dark, steely Bartolo”
Daniel Klein has been hailed by the New York Times for his “stentorian bass-baritone” and “dark and steely voice.” Audiences and critics alike have found his performances imaginative, adventurous, and occasionally even downright terrifying. In 2023, he made his Seattle Opera debut as Judge Moriarty and Stanley in Huang Ruo’s Bound. He continues a close collaboration with Teatro Grattacielo, where upcoming engagements include Prospero in the first fully staged production of Joseph Summer’s The Tempest, following appearances in Daniel Asia’s The Tin Angel and Nicolas Flagello’s Beyond the Horizon.
Recent performances have brought him to El Paso Opera as Colline in La Bohème, the Brooklyn Academy of Music with the Little Opera Theatre of New York as Simone in Zemlinsky’s Eine florentinische Tragödie, and the New Jersey Festival Orchestra as Tonio in Pagliacci. He has also appeared as the Commentator in Scalia/Ginsburg with Opera Company of Middlebury and as Frank Maurrant in Street Scene with the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, alongside concert appearances in excerpts from Le nozze di Figaro and Candide with the New West Symphony.
Recent seasons have also included the title role in Gianni Schicchi with New Jersey Festival Orchestra and Opera on the James, as well as Ted and Dewey in Rob Handel and Eric Moe’s Artwork of the Future with Fresh Squeezed Opera in New York City, named one of the top ten classical music performances of 2023 in New York.

“whose edgy, angry acting turned the whole drama up a notch or two. He seemed genuinely on the edge of mania—which was true of most of the characters. But with Klein, you felt it.”

“Daniel Klein’s Pizarro communicated all the awful power of a little man who wants to play in the big leagues.”
