Jonghyun Park
Pre-Concert Talk

Pre-concert talk with tenor Jonghyun Park at The Athenæum, held ahead of his performance at the Kimmel Center on November 20. Park gives firsthand insight into the life of a modern-day opera singer, from navigating elite international training to preparing for major world premieres. He recently completed two seasons as a member of the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, where he performed the First Prisoner and covered Jaquino in Fidelio, sang the Sergeant in Il barbiere di Siviglia, covered Tybalt in Roméo et Juliette and made his Met debut as the First Guard in the holiday presentation of Die Zauberflöte. In the 2025–26 season he sang Ferrando in Così fan tutte at Opera San José and made his Carnegie Hall debut in a solo recital with Gerald Martin Moore. Presented in collaboration with Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Admission is Pay What You Wish, with $5 suggested, for the talk only.
