Biography

David Cangelosi has firmly established himself as an artist who combines both excellent singing with winning characterizations. He is highly acclaimed by major opera companies and symphony orchestras in the U.S. and abroad, particularly for his portrayal of Mime in Wagner’s Ring Cycle.

Additionally, Mr. Cangelosi serves as the Artistic/Program Director of the Vann Vocal Institute in Montgomery, Alabama, and actively travels the country as a recitalist, symphonic guest-artist, competition adjudicator, and Master Class instructor for aspiring vocalists.

Reviews

And casting David Cangelosi in the problematic role of Monostatos was inspired. Cangelosi went to town playing up the character’s officious buffoonery, singing strongly all the while.

Category: , , ,

It is sometimes hard to know–in a full sense–what kind of impact you make as an artist on your audiences and critics; and while feedback from one’s colleagues is often immediate…and generous…sometimes you are blown away by learning (several years later) just how you may have inspired a rising star. Case in point: In a […]

That message being: “Just enjoy the moment”.  (In this particular case, the ‘morning time’ specifically…but we can broaden that inspiration to encompass the entire day as far as I am […]
