SPCPA Alumni Shout-Out!
We are thrilled to celebrate SPCPA graduate Erik Nordstrom, a Minnesota native who is building an exciting national career as an operatic baritone and singing actor. Erik is currently a member of the company at Pittsburgh Opera, where he continues to take on major roles across a wide repertoire. This season alone he appears in La Bohème, Fellow Travelers, and Britten’s Curlew River, with upcoming performances including Rigoletto and a return to the Glimmerglass Festival for Oklahoma!. His work has also taken him to Wolf Trap Opera, Cincinnati Opera, and the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, where he earned a district win. We are so proud to see Erik’s artistry and dedication reaching audiences across the country.
