Originally from South Carolina, Barratt Park is now based in Cambridge, MA, where he attends graduate school at MIT. Mr. Park recently made a switch from baritone to tenor and will make his tenor debut this Fall as Ezekiel Cheever in Boston Opera Collaborative's The Crucible. Prior to the Fach change, he appeared in such varied roles as Ping (Turandot), Betto (Gianni Schicchi), Alidoro (La Cenerentola), and Vater (Hänsel und Gretel). Also a fan of light opera, Barratt serves on the board of MIT's Gilbert and Sullivan Players, where he has appeared as Florian (Princess Ida), Captain Corcoran (HMS Pinafore), Cox (Cox and Box), Despard (Ruddigore), and the Pirate King (The Pirates of Penzance). Equally at home on the concert stage, Mr. Park has appeared as a soloist with the MIT Chamber Choir and has been heard with the Paul Madore Chorale as the baritone soloist for Carmina Burana. He now studies with Mark St. Laurent. For more information, visit Mr. Park's website.
