About New York Philharmonic
About Andrew Watts, countertenor
Few countertenors have pushed the boundaries of repertoire and sound more than Andrew Watts. A dramatic voice unlike any other, and extraordinary stagecraft and presence, make him a unique performer, not only of parts traditionally associated with the voice type, but also as a pioneer of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire. He is particularly associated with roles like Edgar in Aribert Reimann's Lear, which he has performed at Hamburg Staatsoper, Opéra national de Paris, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Munich's Bavarian Staatsoper, and Teatro Real Madrid.
