Granner
lyric tenor | producing artist
World-renowned leading tenor Nathan Granner gained chart-topping success as a founding member of The American Tenors and has originated numerous roles in world premieres, including Korey Wise in Anthony Davis' 2020 Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Central Park Five" with Long Beach Opera.
In addition to singing internationally with a voice described as possessing a "sinewy, ringing tone; splendidly flexible" (The San Francisco Chronicle), Mr. Granner’ new opera-centric production company creates engaging video performances, including “Sing Out Loud," a popular web series for LA Opera.

There is always something going on in the Granner sphere
Stay tuned for some imminent performance announcements for 2021!
NOTE:
Before the pandemic, Mr. Granner had a full season of singing from west to east coast. But during the pandemic, Nathan has formally started a new production company, Astroblab_Labs (ALabs). ALabs has created a number of full-length productions already in 2020, including for LA Opera, Orlando Opera, and The Lensic Center for the Performing Arts.
Granner's other passion has been as a visual artist (He was a double major in Art and Music in College). He chose to sing opera professionally at 23, and is following that path to this day. But underneath that charming exterior is the soul of an expressionistic artist, with an emphasis in sculpture and installation work. Perfect for digital media. Perfect for opera.

Nathan Granner as The Magician, "a wildly successful tour de force"
-Opera News
The Magician scene in Gian Carlo Menotti's horror tale of bureaucracy is a moment of slight mirth in the dire straits accompanying the opera characters. Real magic, comedic choreography and devilishly deceptive music make this scene a challenge and a reward for cast and audience alike.
