Toledo Opera will present a “Meet the Resident Artists” on Sept. 15, 2025 at 6 p.m. local time.
The showcase will feature an opportunity for audiences to interact with soprano Sarah Rachel Bacani, mezzo-soprano Danielle Casós, tenor Brady DelVecchio, baritone Rick Hale, and pianist Yura Jang.
These artists will be a part of the “Opera on Wheels” program and “Opera ‘Round Town” showcases. They will also sing roles in the mainstage productions of “Carmen” and “The Elixir of Love.”
“It is thrilling that, with each season, Toledo Opera is able to attract some of the strongest young singers in the operatic field,” said Toledo Opera Artistic Director Kevin Bylsma in an official press release. “This year is no exception: I am so excited for NW Ohio to experience the artistry and passion that these young singers will demonstrate in their singing and performing.”
Bacani has performed leading and supporting roles with Central City Opera and Indiana University Opera Theater, while Casós, a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, has trained with Central City Opera, Kentucky Opera, and Music Academy of the West.
DelVecchio has appeared with the Center for Contemporary Opera and is returning as a resident artist with Toledo Opera after appearing with the company in 2024-25. Hale’s career features performances with Resonance Works and Seagle Festival.
Jang is a Mannes School of Music graduate who has worked on productions of several operas. She has also performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Steinway Hall, the German Consulate General in New York, and WQXR.
