About

Opera Parallèle is so excited to be hosting John Holiday’s San Francisco Bay Area debut. John just made his first appearance at The Metropolitan Opera in December 2021, is featured in the latest issue of Opera America Magazine, and has 2022 engagements that include star turns in halls like the Lyric Opera of Chicago and London’s Barbican Centre. John’s widespread popularity extends beyond classical music, thanks to being a finalist on NBC’s The Voice, and his outspoken advocacy for equity and inclusion lights the way for the future of opera.
