Bass-baritone Dashon Burton, described by Opera News as "reverberant and eloquent...with quiet authenticity, depth and tenderness," brings a gentle note to an evening of song.
Dashon Burton has established a vibrant career in opera, recital, and with orchestra. In key elements of his repertoire-Bach's Passions and the B minor Mass, Mendelssohn's Elijah, Beethoven 9, the Brahms Requiem, Handel's Messiah, and Mozart's Requiem-Dashon is a frequent guest with the major orchestras of the United States, Europe, and Japan.
Opera engagements have included Sarastro in Die Zauberflote in Dijon and Paris and Jupiter in Rameau's Castor et Pollux with Les Talens Lyriques; Strauss' Salome at the Salzburg Festival (led by Franz Welser-Most in a production by Romeo Castellucci), and Peter Sellars's production of Claude Vivier's Kopernikus, un ritual de mort at Paris' Theatre de la Ville.
