In the 2022-23 season, Blake Denson (2020 George London Award winner) made his German debut in La fanciulla del West with the Bayerische Staatsoper; performed at Staatsoper Hamburg, making his house debut in a new production of Carmen; and made his debut with English National Opera in a new production of Das Rheingold. He makes his Santa Fe Opera debut in productions of Tosca and Orfeo in Summer 2023.
