Nathan Granner is a world-renowned leading tenor, headliner, solo, and collaborative artist specializing in Contemporary Opera and late Bel-Canto repertoire. The San Francisco Chronicle recently described Mr. Granner’s singing as possessing a “sinewy, ringing tone; splendidly flexible,” and the San Francisco Classical Voice extolled “tons of squillo on his top notes, his honeyed tone, and his sensitive dynamic choices…”

Nathan has created numerous characters in world premiere operas, including the role of Korey Wise in Anthony Davis’ 2020 Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Central Park Five,” the title character in Gordon Getty’s “Goodbye, Mr. Chips,” Stewart Copeland’s “The Invention of Morel” for Chicago Opera Theater and Long Beach Opera and the role of Aubrey Wells in Laura Kaminsky (Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed librettists) newest opera “Today it Rains” with Opera Paralléle

Granner’s work as a recording artist (with Sony Classical, as a founding member of The American Tenors) netted top five on the Billboard Classical-Crossover charts, and as a headliner, has sent him touring across the nation and into the EU and Russia. As an award-winning producing artist, Nathan Granner has been instrumental in crafting a wide array of shows, installations, and productions. His innovative work with “Sing Out Loud,” a web series for LA Opera’s Connects division, created in partnership with his wife, soprano Jamie Chamberlin, has attracted a diverse audience. He also played a key role in transforming Music Theater Heritage from a longstanding radio program into a dynamic production company. His entrepreneurial spirit led to the founding of KCMetropolis.org, an arts publication that became a staple of Kansas City’s cultural scene for a decade. In 2020, Granner expanded his artistic reach by launching A Lab Studios, a full-service production house specializing in visceral storytelling and the radical re-imagining of operatic form1. A Lab Studios is committed to championing new voices, ideas, and stories that resonate with today’s diverse audiences. With a focus on both live and virtual stages, A Lab Studios reflects life through traditional and contemporary stories, creating more repertoire experiences by more people, for more people1. This venture exemplifies Granner’s dedication to fostering greater aspirations through opera, from the composer’s desk to the audience’s ears and beyond.
