American bass Alex Rosen has built longstanding partnerships with many of the world’s foremost ensembles, including Pygmalion, Il Pomo d’Oro, Jupiter Ensemble, and Les Arts Florissants. A frequent collaborator with leading conductors such as Raphaël Pichon, Leonardo García Alarcón, William Christie, and Jonathan Cohen, he is a sought-after artist across both opera and concert stages.
This season features an array of projects and debuts. He embarks on four major tours: Handel’s Theodora (Valens) with Jupiter Ensemble; two tours of Bach’s St Matthew Passion - one with Pygmalion under Raphaël Pichon, and the other with Arcangelo under Jonathan Cohen; and Handel’s Giulio Cesare (Achilla) with Il Pomo d’Oro, to be recorded by Warner Classics. He makes a notable house and role debut at Opéra national de Paris as Bembo in Ercole Amante and returns to Festival d’Aix-en-Provence.
Additional concert engagements include Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s under Raphaël Pichon, marking his Carnegie debut; Haydn’s The Creation with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra under Jonathan Cohen, and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne, also with Cohen. He also reprises his role in Philip Venables’ We Are The Lucky Ones at Ruhrtriennale Festival of the Arts and Tiroler Festspiele Erl.
Rosen is a graduate of The Juilliard School and made his international debut with Les Arts Florissants under William Christie, touring Haydn’s The Creation and Handel’s Acis and Galatea. In recognition of his artistry, he was recently awarded the Prix Gabriel Dussurget 2025 from Festival d'Aix-en-Provence.
He made his debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in the 2021/22 season with Ariadne auf Naxos and has returned with Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni (2021/22) and Alcina (2022/23).
