Daniel Scofield has established himself as a leading dramatic baritone, praised as “destined for the world’s major Wagner stages.” In this 2025/26 season, he garnered critical acclaim for his Wotan in Die Walküre at Opéra de Monte-Carlo following his debut last spring in the title role of Der fliegende Holländer where reviews highlighted his “high range, which is radiant and sonically impressive.” (OperaJournal.CZ)
Other recent highlights include role debuts as Jochanaan (Salome) in St. Louis, Golaud (Pelléas et Mélisande) in Baltimore and Wagner’s Dutchman at Prague State Opera, as well as his return to Lyric Opera of Chicago as Tonio/Alfio (Pagliacci/Cavalleria rusticana). He has also appeared in major roles such as Escamillo (Carmen), Marcello (La bohème) and Scarpia (Tosca).
A former finalist of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, Scofield is also an accomplished concert artist, having appeared with orchestras nationwide in repertoire ranging from Haydn and Handel, to Britten, Stravinsky, and Mahler.
