Daniel Juárez, tenor

Tenor Daniel Juárez is a familiar and admired presence on opera stages throughout New England, having performed with Opera Theater of Connecticut, Connecticut Lyric Opera, The Connecticut Virtuosi, Opera Connecticut, MassOpera, Coffe Milk Opera, and Modern Vintage Opera. He is also a frequent recitalist and concert soloist, appearing regularly across the region.

Based in Connecticut, Juárez’s artistry has taken him across the United States and abroad. In addition to his many performances in New England, he has sung leading roles in fully staged productions at the Greve Opera Festival in Tuscany, Italy, and in concert with the Mid-Ohio Civic Opera.

His operatic repertoire encompasses many of the tenor canon’s most demanding and celebrated roles, including Radamès in Aida, Canio in I Pagliacci, Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana, Florestan in Fidelio, Cavaradossi in Tosca, Don José in Carmen, Rodolfo in La Bohème, the Italian Singer in Der Rosenkavalier, Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, Erik in The Flying Dutchman, Calaf in Turandot, and the title roles in Faust and Don Carlo.

Recent seasons have brought both notable role returns and important debuts. In 2024, Juárez appeared as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly with Connecticut Lyric Opera, made his role debut as Calaf in a concert performance of Turandot with Coffee Milk Opera, and returned to the role of Rodolfo in La Bohème with The Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra (in collaboration with Teatro Lirico d’Europa). In June 2025, he made his role debut as Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana with Modern Vintage Opera. On August 8 and 9 (next weekend) Daniel returns to Opera Theater of Connecticut’s stage as Cavaradossi in Tosca. https://www.operatheaterofct.org/tosca/

As a concert artist, Juárez is in frequent demand for major oratorio and sacred works. His concert solo credits include Dvořák’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Requiem and Vesperae solennes de confessore, Schubert’s Mass in G Major, Schütz’s Seven Last Words of Christ, and Ariel Ramírez’s Misa Criolla. He has also performed a range of Bach cantatas, including Magnificat in D, the Coffee Cantata, and Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben? (BWV 8). In April 2027 Daniel will be the tenor soloist in the Middletown Chorale’s performance of Verdi’s Requiem.
