Tenor Nathan Bowles is a versatile artist based in Dallas, Texas. Heralded as having a voice “without dross” and for his “flawless vocal technique,” he is quickly earning his reputation as a compelling stage performer.

He has been seen with the Western Plains Opera Company as Alfred in Die Fledermaus, the Baker in Into the Woods, John Styx in Orpheus in the Underworld   and, most recently, Don Jose in Carmen. 

Bowles was a 2024 national semi-finalist in the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, winning the New Orleans district and Gulf Coast Region.
