Long Long

With a repertoire spanning French lyricism, bel canto elegance, and classical Italian roles—and a growing list of debuts at major opera houses, where he is praised for his “brilliant lyric tenor with volume and beauty, a completely secure top, and a ringing high C”—Long Long is rapidly building a reputation for performances that combine lyrical beauty with emotional depth.

Current and upcoming engagements include his debut at the Metropolitan Opera as the Duke (in La bohème), a role he will also reprise at the Semperoper Dresden. He returns to the Bregenz Festival and Atlanta Opera as Alfredo (La traviata), to Palm Beach Opera as Nadir (Les pêcheurs de perles), and appears as Cassio in Otello at the Bavarian State Opera. He will also make his debut at the Staatsoper Berlin as Roméo (Roméo et Juliette), perform Edgardo (Lucia di Lammermoor) at Deutsche Oper Berlin, Alfredo Germont (La traviata) at Deutsche Oper am Rhein, and portray Faust at the Canadian Opera Company.

Recent highlights include his Roméo at the Dallas Opera, Gérald (Lakmé) at the NCPA in Beijing, and Tamino (The Magic Flute) at both the Royal Ballet & Opera and the Semperoper Dresden. He has sung the Duke (La bohème) at Opéra National de Montpellier, Hamburg State Opera, Atlanta Opera, and the Glyndebourne Festival, as well as Nadir (Les pêcheurs de perles) at the Staatsoper Hannover. His Verdi repertoire includes Alfredo (La traviata) at the Chilean National Opera, the Duke (Rigoletto) at Oper Frankfurt, the Bregenz Festival, and the National Theatre in Prague, as well as Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni) at the Dutch National Opera, Israeli Opera, and Komische Oper Berlin.

Long Long is a graduate of the Bayerische Staatsoper Opera Studio and has also been part of the Salzburg Festival Young Singers Project and the Georg Solti Academy. Among his competition achievements are first prize at the prestigious Neue Stimmen International Singing Competition, third prize at the Francisco Viñas Competition, five special prizes at the Moniuszko Vocal Competition, the Giovani Voci Verdiane Prize in Busseto, and the Grand Prix de l’Opéra in Bucharest.
