| Mr. Bloomfield has a powerful and
rich bass-baritone voice. He began the Fall season as Supt Budd
in Britten’s Albert Herring at Maestro Maazel’s private theater in
Casleton Virginia.. In addition he performed in a Kennedy center
gala performance with Maestro Maazel and Marvin Hamlisch. He is a graduate student at the Julliard School in New York. He is also performing Bartolo in Le Nozze de Figaro with the Lindemmann Program at the Metropolitan Opera under the direction of Stephen Wadsworth. Mr. Bloomfiel will then perform Officer 1 in a producvtion of The Death of Klinghoffer at the Julliard School. In the Spring he perfoms Il Ladro in the rarely heard Il Piccolo Marat with Teatro grattacielo at Avery Ficher Hall in New York. He performed as soloist in The Durufle Requiem and the Lord Nelson Mass with the Pro Arte Chorale in New Jersey and performed in the ensemble for a workshop of a new opera The Letter for Santa Fe Opera in New York City. He also performed the role of Aeneas in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas at Manhattan School of Music and presented his graduation recital and sang Bartolo in Le Nozze di Figaro with Martino Arroyo’s Prelude to Performance Program in New York City. Benjamin Bloomfield is from New Hampshire and has a Masters Degree from Manhattan School of Music. He has already worked with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under James Levine, as well as multiple performances with Ken Kiesler and the New Hampshire Symphony Orchestra. He is quickly becoming known for his comic acting, in roles such as Leporello in Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Don Polidoro in the rarely performed L’Italiana in Londra by Cimarosa. His flexibility as a performer is apparent in his casting history, which includes such diversity as Il Conte in Le Nozze de Figaro, Michele in Puccini’s Il Tabarro, and Spinelloccio in Gianni Schicchi. An active recitalist, Mr. Bloomfield has performed both Schubert’s Die Winterreise and Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel in New York. He performed the Brahms Vier ernste Gesänge in recital with other selections at Manhattan School of Music where he recently received his Masters degree.. While music is by far his main and favorite activity, he can often be found playing his accordion or writing science fiction. He also loves to celebrate his half-Chinese heritage with Chinese and fusion dishes. Wherever his travels take him, Mr. Bloomfield’s favorite souvenir is a new recipe. 11/4/08 |
