NICHOLAS NESTORAK is a tenor on the rise since joining the Metropolitan Opera roster in 2021 and making his highly anticipated Met début as Pang in their lavish production of Turandot. Also at The Met, he has covered Pang, Tanzmeister in Ariadne auf Naxos, Bardolfo in Falstaff, and Spoletta in Tosca. He returns this season as the Second Priest in the holiday presentation of The Magic Flute and covering the Waiter in Arabella.

Additional engagements last season included Goro in Madama Butterfly with Opera San Antonio and Austin Opera. Mr. Nestorak also took his acclaimed Spoletta to the Princeton Festival’s Tosca and joined Opera Maine to portray Beadle Bamford in Sweeney Todd. This season, in addition to the Met, he portrays Ralph Rackstraw in HMS Pinafore with Opera Grand Rapids. In concert, he will be heard as the tenor soloist for Stravinksy’s Pulcinella with Princeton Symphony Orchestra, as well as two rarely heard works, Dvorak's The American Flag and Orff's Trionfo di Afrodita, with Columbus Symphony.
