NICHOLAS NESTORAK (Goro) 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. 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 Stravinsky’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.
