Jason Karn has impressed critics and audiences alike with his vibrant, bright tone and dramatic characterizations. In 2007, he made his New York debut at Dicapo Opera as Roméo in Roméo et Juliette, receiving many stellar reviews. The New York Sun Times said, “He has an attractive soft-grained tenor that at its best reminded me a bit of the late Alfredo Kraus. Mr. Karn’s singing was flexible, smoothly phrase, and secure on top."

Upcoming performances include Ferrando in Cosi fan tutte with Granite State Opera and again with Chautauqua Opera. In the Fall, he will be returning to Pittsburgh Opera, singing Al Joad in The Grapes of Wrath.

He recently completed his 2-year residency with the Pittsburgh Opera Center, where he performed Tamino in The Magic Flute, The Novice in Billy Budd, Scaramuccio in Ariadne auf Naxos, Spoletta in Tosca, and Erice in L’Ormindo. Last summer, he sang Fenton in Falstaff at Opera North.

 In summer 2006, Jason received rave reviews as Nemorino in L’elisir d’amore with Capital Opera of Raleigh. He also reprised the role of Spoletta at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, under the baton of Maestro John Mauceri.
