A Partnership with the Wagner Society of Washington, DC
We are delighted to be sending you this second issue of The Wagner Singer, the annual
newsletter of the Evelyn Lear and Thomas Stewart Emerging Singers Program (ESP). The
ESP, a five-year-old partnership with the Wagner Society of Washington, DC, is dedicated
to the development of American singers with the potential for careers singing the works of
Wagner.
Over the past five years, we have provided musical guidance for more than 70 aspiring Wagner
singers through critiques of their recorded performances or live auditions with us. More
than 30 of these singers have had the opportunity to sing in the twice-yearly concerts after
extensive rehearsals with us. The results are now being enjoyed on opera stages around
the world. ESP singers have performed with success in roles in Der Ring des Nibelungen
such as Brünnhilde, Wotan, Fricka, Siegmund, Gutrune and Froh, as well as the title roles in
Tristan and Isolde and roles in Lohengrin.
We are both very grateful for the support of the many people who value the operas of Richard
Wagner and appreciate the beauty of his art. We are pleased that we have the chance to
help ESP singers develop their careers. We invite singers aspiring to sing the Wagner Fach
to apply for the Program.

On the occasion of the 10th Evelyn Lear and Thomas Stewart
Emerging Singers Concert at the German Embassy on May
27, 2005, Ms. Lear and Mr. Stewart were honored with the

“We highly appreciate what you have done and are very much
looking forward to continuing our cooperation,” Deputy Chief

drive us even more to help supporting the young singers here
in Washington D.C.,” Thomas Stewart said on receiving the
award.
The Washington Post
Wagnerian Voices at the German Embassy
The Emerging Singers Program has made a noticeable mark in
Washington’s expanding Opera scene. Led by star opera veterans
Evelyn Lear and her husband Thomas Stewart, the project
seeks out young American singers to mentor and promote toward
careers as the next Wagnerian vanguard -- a tall order, since
Wagner’s operas, earth-moving forces in the cosmic reordering of
the operatic world, make extraordinary and singular demands on
the human voice. Seven singers proved themselves right on track
at the German Embassy Friday.
In a concert sponsored by the Wagner Society of Washington,
DC, the performers offered excerpts from eight Wagner operas,
three from his seminal Ring cycle. Not least, the superb pianist
Betty Bullock transformed the embassy’s Bluethner instrument
into a virtual opera orchestra.
Soprano Diane Barton greeted the Wartburg’s hall (Dich, teure
Halle from Tannhäuser) with seemingly effortless movement between
her vibrant mezzo range and her topmost notes. An ardent

Evelyn Lear and Thomas Stewart are two of the most
distinguished singers of our time. From the 1960s into the
1980s they sang leading roles in every major opera house in the
world. Ms. Lear is renowned for her roles in Strauss, Mozart
and Berg.
Mr. Stewart is especially revered as the leading Wotan and
Hans Sachs of the post-war era. He is the only bass-baritone
to sing all four operas of The Ring in one week at the Bayreuth
Festival, and the only American to sing major roles at Bayreuth
for fourteen consecutive years.
Both Ms. Lear and Mr. Stewart have left us extensive
award-winning discographies. In addition to Lulu, Ms. Lear is
particularly noted for her portrait of Pamina in Die Zauberflöte
with Karl Böhm, and the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier
with Carlos Kleiber. Mr. Stewart’s performances as Hans Sachs
with Rafael Kubelik, and as Wotan in the historic von Karajan
Ring recording, are a permanent record of Wagner singing at
the highest level.
Since their retirement from the stage, they have continued
to make major contributions to the world of opera as teachers.
They are in constant demand to give master classes. They have
established the highest level of artistic integrity in their own
careers. It is these very standards that they require of their
students — in musicianship, in dramatic intelligence, and in
total dedication to the realization of the composer’s art.
Music Critic’s Review of the 10 th Emerging Singers Concert
Senta (Der fliegende Holländer), she was also a sonorously ecstatic
Sieglinde (Die Walküre). In the title role of Lohengrin, tenor
Joshua Saxon tended toward a sturdy if strained quality with
noticeable breaks between vocal registers; as Lohengrin’s father
(Parsifal), he took on greater lyricism.
A steely baritone, Nathan Bahny made a stolidly lecherous Alberich
(Das Rheingold) and (Siegfried). Daniel Brenna set his tenor
on a blissful course lightly trod in Erik’s dream (Holländer) and
rapturously proclaimed by Siegmund in his duet with Sieglinde
(Walküre).
Attired in an imposing long, dark coat, Charles Robert Austin
employed his vibrant baritone to portray a Wotan of commanding
presence rent with despair (Siegfried and Walküre). Bass
Pawel Izdebski was a basso profundo both as a booming Fafner
(Siegfried) and an anguished King Marke (Tristan und Isolde);
while soprano Rebecca Teem, the newest of the group, ended the
exciting evening with a rousing Hojotoho, Brünnhilde’s belligerent
call to arms (Walküre).
