Tenor Daniel Snyder has recently been honored with selection as part of the Thomas Stewart and Evelyn Lear Emerging Singers Program of the Washington Wagner Society.
Reviewing Daniel Snyder’s portrayal of ‘Siegfried’ with Long Beach Opera ring cycle, Musical America remarked that “his ebullient virility was irresistible”. The Wall Street Journal noted that "Tenor Daniel Snyder played Jimmy like a man bent on self destruction" in 2007’s ‘Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny’ with Opera Boston.
During the critically successful 2007/08 season Mr. Snyder assumed the demanding role of Hoffmann in a new production of Les Contes d’Hoffmann at Virginia Opera, followed by the Italian Tenor in Die Fledermaus at Opera Theater of Pittsburgh and concerts of Neopolitan Songs with Bowling Green Chamber Orchestra and Murfreesboro Symphony. He then performed Carmina Burana with the Toledo Symphony, followed by the Verdi Requiem with the Oakland East Bay Symphony, the Richmond Symphony, the Master Chorale of North Carolina, the North Penn Symphony Orchestra and in a debut at Carnegie Hall with Saint Cecila. He finished the season singing the role of Radames in Aida in debuts in Chicago with Enrique de Patron Rueda conducting, and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Teatro Nacional Eduardo Brita in the Dominican Republic under the baton of José Antonio Molina. Engagements for the 2008/09 season include Der Frieschutz with Opera Boston, Carmen with the National Philharmonic, the Verdi Requiem with the Tulsa Oratorio Chorus The Bells with the Helena Symphony, and a return to Fledermaus in Pittsburgh with the Opera Theater. As a recitalist, Mr. Snyder has been a regular performer in The Embassy Series in Washington D.C. He has sung at the Czech embassy, the Hungarian embassy and the Austrian embassy. In 2006, he helped ring in the New Year at the Seattle Symphony with performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Other concert credits include Handel’s Messiah with the Kennedy Center Orchestra, Dvorak’s Stabat Mater with the National Philharmonic, Rossini’s Stabat Mater with the Winterpark Bach Festival, Mozart’s Requiem with the Washington Bach Consort, and a rare performance of Frank Martin’s In Terra Pax with the National Cathedral Choral Society, as well as many recitals of art song across the country.
Past engagements include Pinkerton, Siegfried, Tristan, and Don Jose with regional American opera houses, and a recording of Kurt Weill’s ‘Eternal Road’ with Gerard Schwarz conducting the Berliner Rundfunk Orchestra. His appearance in Xalapa Mexico as Tamino during their summer music festival excited critical acclaim and enthusiasm.
