Jason Budd
Plunkett

Jason Budd made his South American debut in December as the title character in Verdi's Falstaff with Theatro São Pedro in São Paulo, Brazil. He is receiving accolades and recognition for his buffo performances in the United States and around the world. In a recent performance as Bartolo in Il Barbiere di Siviglia with the Michigan Opera Theatre, the Detroit Free-Press exclaimed, “Jason Budd as Bartolo was the definition of a buffo bass: rotund, blustery, funny, with an alluring, deep-chested voice.” Of an L’Elisir d’Amore performance, Opera News said, “Jason Budd’s Dulcamara was a good-natured quack, nimble of limb and voice.” Most recent engagements include Falstaff in Boston Midsummer Opera's The Merry Wives of Windsor, Il Barbiere di Siviglia with Opera Western Reserve where he shared the stage with his college friend Lawrence Brownlee in their hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, Benoit/Alcindoro in La Bohème with Toledo Opera, Bartolo in Le Nozze di Figaro with Michigan Opera Theatre, Bartolo in Il Barbiere di Siviglia with The Bar Harbor Music Festival, and Major General in Pirates of Penzance at Fresno Grand Opera.
