Kenneth Kellogg

American bass Kenneth Kellogg’s 2025-26 engagements include Colline (c) La Boheme at the Metropolitan Opera of New York, his role debut as Trinity Moses The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny at English National Opera in London UK, and a further role debut as Sulpice The Daughter of the Regiment at Boston Lyric Opera.

Recent appearances include Ramfis Aida at Daytona Opera and his debut as Crown Porgy and Bess at Washington National Opera. A significant feature of the last three seasons is the artist’s creation of the role of Father Blue, named the best new opera of 2020 by the Music Critics Association of North America, a role written for him by Jeanine Tesori and Tazewell Thompson, which he sang the role in its world premiere at Glimmerglass Festival, and in many US and international opera theaters.

Past career highlights include his recent Wagner debut as Fafner in Seattle Opera’s celebrated new production of Das Rheingold, a role he also sang at Calgary Opera. Returning to Seattle, he made his debut in the title role X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X; other recent appearances include Il Re Aida in concert at Detroit Opera, Colline La Boheme with Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera, Falstaff The Merry Wives of Windsor at Pocket Opera and as Logger Bulrusher at West Edge Opera—both new productions.
