Nathan Granner as Chips in Gordon Getty's new opera "Goodbye, Mr. Chips"
Nathan was slated to sing another role for the staged premiere of the new Gordon Getty opera, but when covid closed the production down, rather than put it on ice, Mr. Getty and the producers of the show asked Nathan to sing the role of Chips. It's one of the longest roles in the repertoire (for anyone) and Nathan was up for the task. The film premiered at a special Mill Valley Film screening and has now been shown across the USA and has also played to 150 million homes in China. There is a new album being recorded, a new version, just for audio this summer 2023 and will be released on Pentatone Records in late 2023 or early 2024.
Operatic Tenor Nathan Granner enjoys a unique and diverse performing career which has allowed him to leverage his distinctive timbre and impressive range in a multitude of projects and productions.

Normally this scene from Rossini's 1816 opera "Otello" is two guys (Otello and Rodrigo) arguing over the love of Desdemona, but in this scene, the two man are seated in a hospital room, waiting to get their vaccine administered. They bicker about their own macho ways, but when it comes time to get the vaccine shot, both at first, chicken out. All’s well that ends well, however, when the two finally take their medicine ... and sing really great high notes.
About the Production: As we look to the road to recovery during this pandemic, one known obstacle is building vaccine trust. Many communities distrust the medical community and we wanted to create a project that reflected the honest and genuine concerns of communities but that ultimately illustrates the trust in science and our medical communities required to achieve large scale immunity that allows us to put this pandemic behind us.
