Jared White is a Seattle-native baritone, actor, and private teacher who is known for his powerful voice and commanding stage presence.
Jared is an advocate for opera as a living, dynamic, and relatable artform. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Lowbrow Opera Collective, an organization that strives to present new and relevant operas to diverse audiences. Serving on multiple committees, he enjoys all elements of opera production: from reading through new work submissions to designing and building sets.
Jared has had the pleasure of singing for many local performance companies and in concert recitals. This last season, his credits include the Sergeant of Police in The Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s production of The Pirates of Penzance; Mr Brownlow in Bellevue Opera’s production of Oliver!; Schlendrian in a staged production of the Coffee Cantata for the Ladies’ Musical Club’s birthday concert for Bach; Papageno and Sarastro in the touring production of The Magic Flute for NOISE (Northwest Opera in Schools, Etc.); and Sheriff Byrd in the world-premiere performance of Tacoma Method at Tacoma Opera; and a return to Bellevue Opera as Morales in their production of Carmen; as well as in choral groups such as the Byrd Ensemble, Radiance, Bellingham Chamber Chorale, and the Seattle Symphony Chorale.
His love of opera is matched only by his love of dogs, gardening, reading, and the Oxford comma.
