Daniel Moody, Countertenor
Praised for the ability to “pierce hearts” and “utterly silence a room” (The Boston Musical Intelligencer), countertenor Daniel Moody dazzles audiences and makes “a profoundly startling impression” (The New York Times) in opera and concerts with repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary premieres.
Mr. Moody has sung title roles in Handel’s Giulio Cesare, Rinaldo, and Orlando, and has sung leading roles in contemporary works by George Benjamin, Peter Knell, Hannah Lash, Aribert Reimann, Elena Ruehr and Jorge Sosa. Career highlights include a recent debut with the Metropolitan Opera, appearances with Cincinnati Opera, Atlanta Opera, and Mark Morris Dance Group, concerts with Minnesota Orchestra, Les Violons du Roy, and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. He is featured on Apollo’s Fire’s recent recording of Handel’s Israel in Egypt, and will soon release his debut album of music for the countertenor voice with the esteemed Parthenia Viol Consort.
Mr. Moody holds a BM from Peabody Conservatory and a MM from Yale School of Music/Institute of Sacred Music, and has won several awards in prestigious competitions including the Metropolitan National Council Auditions, George London Competition, Handel Aria Competition, and the New York Oratorio Society Competition. He has kept a private voice studio in New York City for several years, taught secondary voice lessons at Yale University, and is on the voice faculty at Vancouver Academy of Music and Molloy University.
