Nmon Ford in Bloch's Macbeth
Sergio A. Mims writes:
I have some very important major news happening next month at the
Chicago Opera Theater for their new production of Ernest Bloch's opera
Macbeth:
Nmon Ford as Macbeth
From the moment the curtain rises, this 110-minute non-stop thriller
captures the dark and bloody world where ambition and revenge run
rampant. Nmon Ford as Macbeth is “compelling, weak, nervous, delusional
in his courageousness. His voice crisp and burnished.” (Opera News).
A featured soloist on 2010’s Grammy Award-winning Transmigrations
(Telarc) and 2006’s 4-time Grammy Award-winning (including “Best
Classical Recording”) Songs of Innocence and of Experience (Naxos), Los
Angeles native Nmon Ford appeared most recently with the symphonies of
St. Louis and Atlanta (Carmina Burana), Opéra National de Bordeaux
(Jochanaan, Salome), Michigan Opera Theater (Zurga, The Pearl Fishers),
Teatro Comunale di Bologna (Don Giovanni), Sferisterio Festival in Italy
(Attila), and the Grafenegg Festival (Austria). Under the auspices of
the Claremont Colleges, he sang his first performances as Wotan (Die
Walküre). He made his Ravinia debut with James Conlon and the Chicago
Symphony in Shostakovich’s 13th Symphony, and he has soloed
with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, and the
Pittsburgh Symphony. Nmon was vocal arranger and lead singer for the CD
Vai DaCapo – Songs of Delight (Billboard Top 20 – Classical) and has
performed lead roles in several festival-bound feature films.
