William Andrew Stuckey is a baritone whose performances have been acclaimed for their visceral power and beauty.  In a recent performance of Germont with Opera Delaware his voice was praised as a “strong, soaring baritone”.

Mr. Stuckey recently returned to the Santa Fe Opera to perform Germont in their production of La Traviata and also participated in the critically acclaimed American premiere of Kaaja Saariajo’s L’amour de loin.  He has performed leading roles with the Washington Opera, Augusta Opera, Toledo Opera and Roanoke Opera, and received excellent reviews for his performance of Comte di Luna in Sarasota Opera’s well-received production of Le Trouvère.

While with the Lyric Opera of Chicago he performed in La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Amistad, La Gioconda, and La Traviata.  A highlight of his time in Chicago was when a colleague became indisposed and, at the last minute, he had the opportunity to step in as Sharpless, opposite Catherine Malfitano’s moving portrayal of Cio-cio-san in Madama Butterfly.

No stranger to oratorio, exciting performances of Britten’s War Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, and Mozart’s Requiem are among the highlights of his career.

An acclaimed singer, many prestigious prizes and grants have been awarded to him. Some of these awards include the Sara Tucker study grant, the William Matheus Sullivan Foundation grant, and The Union League grant. He has won first prize in both the Florida Grand Opera’s Young Patronesses of the Opera competition and the Palm Beach Opera competition. He was also a National Semi-Finalist for the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.

Mr. Stuckey has worked with some of the most renowned teachers, directors, conductors, and coaches of today.  Aside from studying voice with Marlena Malas, he has enjoyed the opportunity to work with Craig Rutenburg, Bruno Bartoletti, Eduardo Müller, Regine Crespin and Renata Scotto. They have taught him much, not just about vocal technique and performance, but also about the pursuit of excellence in art.
