About

Tenor Zachary Taylor has been lauded for his “honeyed, pliant tenor” and “sincere” portrayals. He has spent time as a young artist with several companies, including Des Moines Metro Opera, Pensacola Opera, Nashville Opera and, most recently, the Florentine Opera in Milwaukee, where he now resides as a current Baumgartner Studio Artist. Zachary’s most recent performances include a celebrated portrayal of Justice Antonin Scalia in Derrick Wang’s Scalia/Ginsburg with Florentine Opera, a return to the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra as the tenor soloist in Mozart’s Requiem, and as the lovesick sailor Ralph Rackstraw in Nashville Opera’s H.M.S. Pinafore. He has also sung with Opera Carolina, the Charlotte Symphony, the Greensboro Choral Society, the Pensacola Choral Society, and Music on Site, among others.

As a member of the Baumgartner Studio with Florentine Opera for the 2025-26 season, Zachary will cover Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, sing the roles of Nathanaël and Spalanzani and cover the titular role in Les Contes d’Hoffman, and sing Spoletta and cover Cavaradossi in Tosca, as well as perform in a touring children’s rendition of Donizetti’s L’elisir d’Amore and in numerous outreach concerts and events.
