Tenor Nicklaus Porter is an active operatic performer from Augusta, Georgia. He left his home town in pursuit of furthering his education in music, earning his double eagle from Georgia Southern University with a M.M. in Vocal Performance, under the direction of Dr. Arikka Gregory and Dr. Jonathan Murphy, and B.M. in both Vocal Performance and Music Education, under the direction of Dr. Kyle Hancock. Some of the roles that he performed includes; Siegmund (Die Walkure), Sweeney Todd (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street), The Pirate King (Pirates of Penzance), Il Re and The Woodcutter (La bella dormente nel bosco), Thomas Putnam (The Crucible), and Bartolo (Le nozze di Figaro). He has also been a part of Moon River Opera’s extremely fun and chaotic Improv Opera. While not on stage, Mr. Porter can be found adjunct teaching at his alma mater, leading his private voice studio, and performing at different venues and events. Recently, he has been accepted and is ecstatic to attend Dolora Zajick’s Institute for Dramatic Voices for this summer. This program is designed to give specific training for growing dramatic voices from operatic coaches and teachers both in the United States and internationally.
