North Park University Opera

Meet the Cast! Tyler Thress, Baritone extraordinaire, is a 2nd year grad student. This will be Tyler’s second production at North Park, and he will be playing a clueless (neglectful?) parent in Hansel and Gretel and the goofy arch angel, Metatron, in Masque of Angels. Tyler enjoys mockery, cardigans, sweaters, engaging in spirited conversation, and believing he is the smartest person in every room.

Meet the cast! D. Gabriel Knott, Baritone, is a first year Masters of Music Vocal Performance Student who studies with Dr. Sam Handley. Gabe is thrilled to be making his opera debut as Professor in The Masque of Angels and as a chorus member in Hänsel und Gretel. In his free time, he is an avid crocheter, reader, gardner, and collector of bowties. The chamber operas will mark Gabe's 22nd theatrical production!
