Bass-Baritone Kevin Spooner has been praised by Parterre Box for having "sonorous resonance and smooth legato” and by Operawire for a bass-baritone that is “agile and potent in equal measure.” This season,  Kevin made his main-stage debut with Teatro Nuovo as Leprello in Mozart’s Don Giovanni in July 2026. In August, he will make his role/house debut as Frère Laurent in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette with Park City Opera. Kevin was an Artist in Residence with Opera Colorado during the 2025/26 season.
