Mr. William Weidner is a young and rising star of passion and dedication, making his way upward to take his place as an operatic baritone, generating a rich and powerful sound to resonate within the hearts of his audiences. He performed this summer with Berlin Opera Academy in their Opernfest Production of “Don Giovanni”, and in the Spring of 2019 in two of Gian Carlo Menotti’s operas. First as the husband in Amelia al Ballo, and as Bob in The Old maid and the Theif. Mr Weidner hopes to use his passion for music, and his other culminating life experiences, to breath life back into the art of opera music, and to make it accessible to the next generation of young listeners William performed in 2017 As Death in Gustav Holst’s opera Savitri, presenting a chilling, yet spiritually light depiction of the Hindu god of death. Then in 2018 as Nardo/Roberto in Mozarts La Finta Giardiniera, Mr. Weidner gave his audiences a heartwarming comic relief, as the disguised servant of Sandrina, pining for the affections of his Serpetta.
