DIVA: A Love Letter to the Legends

PRESENTED BY OPERA OMAHA

Join acclaimed bass Matthew Anchel for a dazzling evening of song, story, and soul in DIVA — a cabaret celebration of the iconic women who shaped his voice and spirit.

Bass Matthew Anchel makes his Opera Omaha debut as Don Basilio in Il barbiere di Siviglia. Recent performances include The Metropolitan Opera’s season opener Grounded by Jeanine Tesori, Bartolo in Il barbiere di Siviglia with Minnesota Opera, The King in Aida with both Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Opera Maine, and The Grand Inquisitor in Don Carlo with the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra. Upcoming engagements include returns to The Metropolitan Opera for The Magic Flute and Andrea Chenier, as well as a debut with the Nederlandse Reisopera in the world premiere of To Die For by Elena Langer. A versatile artist equally at home on the stage and in the studio, Mr. Anchel maintains a thriving private voice studio in New York City. He can be seen making his television debut on Season 29 of Worst Cooks in America on Food Network and has performed for years at various cabaret venues around New York City. Praised for his rich tone and commanding presence, Anchel continues to bring depth and distinction to roles across the operatic and symphonic repertoire.
