Praised for his “stentorian bass” voice, Samuel Weiser is quickly making a name for himself as a singer to watch. In the 2022-2023 season, Mr. Weiser made his debut with the Metropolitan Opera as Flemish Deputy 4 in Don Carlo and covered Waiter 4 in Der Rosenkavalier and Gretch in Giordano’s Fedora. He also made his company and role debut with Livermore Valley Opera as Dr. Dulcamara in L’elisir d’amore and returned to Washington National Opera to sing Benoit / Alcindoro in La bohème. In the 2023-2024 season, Mr. Weiser made his return to the Metropolitan Opera covering Count Ribbing in Un ballo in maschera and Prison Guard 1 in Dead Man Walking. Mr. Weiser was afforded the opportunity to sing the role of Count Ribbing for the opening night of Un ballo in maschera at the Metropolitan Opera. Praised as “sonorous and sinister” (New York Classical Review), Mr. Weiser left quite the impression on the Met stage.

 

In Spring of 2025 Mr. Weiser made his company and role debut as Raimondo in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor with Gulfshore Opera and his debut in the role of Leporello in Don Giovanni with Livermore Valley Opera to much acclaim, “a terrific comedic foil, funny without any exaggerations…” (San Francisco Classical Voice) which he will revive at Annapolis Opera in the Fall of 2025.

​

In 2022, he returned to Washington National Opera for a workshop of Jeanine Tesori and George Brant’s Grounded and made his highly lauded role and company debut as Alberich in Nashville Opera’s Das Rheingold, which was described by reviewers as “the standout performance” of the opera.

 

A recent graduate of the Cafritz Young Artist program, he has performed several roles with Washington National Opera including the title role in the world premiere of Nicolas Benavides and Marella Martin Koch’s Pepito, Sprecher and 2nd Armored Man in The Magic Flute, Marquis d’Obigny in La Traviata, Captain in Eugene Onegin, Jailer in Tosca, 2nd Philistine in Samson et Dalilah and Ox/Inkeeper/Shepherd in Jeanine Tesori and J.D. McClatchy’s The Lion, the Unicorn and Me. Mr. Weiser also joined the National Symphony Orchestra as the bass soloist for Beethoven’s Symphony no. 9 and Act 1 of Puccini’s La bohème.

 
Mr. Weiser graduated cum laude B.S.Ed in Music Education from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and holds his M.M. Vocal Performance from Roosevelt University and Artist Diploma from Chicago Opera Theater.
