Nathan Bowles

North Dakota is not the usual starting point for an operatic tenor, but Nathan Bowles came from there to Minot State University, then to Southern Methodist University, and then into LA Opera's Domingo-Colburn-Stein Young Artist Program, where he sang Benvolio in Roméo et Juliette, Borsa in Rigoletto, Parpignol in La bohème, Dr Caius in Falstaff and Don José. He reached the national stage of the Metropolitan Opera's Laffont competition, holds a Richard F. Gold Career Grant, and was a finalist at Operalia in Sofia in 2025.
