Seph Stanek puts on some clothes for Yeoman

Seph Stanek in Naked Boys Singing
Seph Stanek, who has been appearing in Naked Boys Singing at the Kirk Theater, is going to put on some clothes and join the cast of the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players. He'll be performing the Headsman in The Yeomen of the Guard, which runs from January 18-20. Tickets are available online.

The buff singer, actually trained to sing opera but has done virtually everything in his young career, including appearing on HBO's Boardwalk Empire, performing with the all-male classical-crossover quartet Figaro, and performing with Josh Groban, Kristin Chenoweth, Trisha Yearwood, Carol Channing, Debbie Reynolds, Brooke Shields, and Sandi Patty.

His opera credits include Guglielmo in Mozart's Cosi fan tutte with Spartanburg Opera, the Baron in Verdi's La traviata with Lyrique-en-mer, the Notary in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi with Furman Opera and a soldier in the Met's Aida. He also was a lead singer during the American and International tour of "Twelve Irish Tenors."

  3. I sat in on his rehearsals for Traviata in France (Belle ile-en-mer) a few years ago and knew this young man would have quite the career one day. What presence he has, both vocally and physically! I recently started to follow him on Facebook and am constantly impressed (and not surprised!) at his steady success. Kudos to him for such a multi-faceted career at such a young age.

  5. I went to Arts school with him in High School. He was an amazing opera singer then so he must be only better today.

  7. Although I am all for creative marketing and making the most of one's accomplishments, I must say that many of his are slightly misleading, which is a bit frustrating to the rest of we young artists who have been upfront as to our exact credits. To say that one "made his Metropolitan Opera debut" when he really was only a supernumerary is a poor marketing choice. That being said, this vocalist has great charisma and determination, and is actually doing gigs. More power to him!
