The 2025/26 season secures Daniel Scofield's position as a dramatic baritone “destined for the world’s major Wagner stages,” with critics acclaiming his Wotan in Die Walküre for Opéra de Monte-Carlo: “His vocal security, stylistic assurance, German diction and dramatic intelligence placed him immediately among today’s most compelling interpreters of Wotan,” (Operawire). He also appears this season in concert in Bayreuth at the Markgräfliches Opernhaus, singing excerpts from Siegfried, Tannhäuser, and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, following his debut last spring in the title role of Der fliegende Holländer, reviews highlighting his “high range, which is radiant and sonically impressive.” (OperaJournal.CZ)

Scofield opened the season with his role debut as Jochanaan in Salome in St. Louis, “a huge mountain of voice [that] might well be the voice of God” (Broadway World). After Bayreuth, he returned to the Lyric Opera of Chicago for Elijah Moshinsky’s legendary production of Cavalleria rusticana/Pagliacci. Following his triumph as Wotan in Monte Carlo, he rejoins the Prague State Opera this spring to reprise Tonio/Alfio in in Ondřej Havelka’s production of Cavalleria rusticana/Pagliacci for the fourth season in a row, Pagliacci in Las Vegas, and makes debuts as Jochanaan with the Israeli Opera, Golaud in Pelléas et Mélisande with Opera Baltimore, and Athanael in Thais with Opera Idaho.
