Andrew Staples’ creative output includes concert and opera singing, directing opera and other stage works, music film-making and photography. To these complementary disciplines, he brings a collaborative approach and a strong desire to tell better stories, that build connections between artists and audiences.
“Staples’s voice has such tone and power, unlocking the hidden meaning in the words.”
“Andrew Staples was valiant in launching Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde (The Drinking Song of Earth’s Sorrow). His soaring forte was well balanced with the brass fanfare, and his good diction registered despite those tricky melismatic moments.”
“Staples no less than Kozena succeeded in projecting beyond the Barbican’s empty space, and peeling away the ironized varnish of the faux-Chinois lyrics to reveal an eroticism that in Mahler seems more often sublimated in expressions of religiose ecstasy (never more so than the concluding ‘Ewig-Weibliche’ of the Eighth).”
