Baritone Enes Pektas
Enes Pektas is a emerging artist and currently a Resident Artist at Classic Lyric Arts. He recently completed his Master of Music degree at the Mannes School of Music. In the 2024–2025 season, he performed in concerts and productions including Michele in Il Tabarro, and scenes as Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia, Count Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro, Guglielmo in Cosi fan Tutte and Rodrigo in Don Carlo with Classic Lyric Arts.
Over the past year, he has received awards from the Giulio Gari Foundation, the Gerda Lissner Foundation, and the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition.
“There are times that the technique is so flawless that it recedes into the background and this permits us to focus on artistry. At this, Mr. Pektas is, at this early stage of his career, already an expert.”
-VOCE DI MECHE
”His voice, a booming, theater-filling sound, commanded attention from the moment he began singing. Even more impressive, the confidence and ease with which he sang gave the impression that Pektas was at home on stage. He sang and moved with intention, his unique instrument on full display.”
