Hyun Woo's
Biography

Hyunwoo Roh, baritone, is a Korean opera singer from Seoul, known for his elegant tone, expressive phrasing, and nuanced stage presence. With a foundation in both operatic and art song repertoire, he brings emotional depth and musical clarity to a wide range of works.

He first garnered recognition in his native Korea, where his vocal charisma and refined artistry led to an active presence on the concert stage. Through diverse performances, he has cultivated a strong connection with audiences and continues to expand his artistic voice on an international scale.

He is currently developing major baritone roles such as Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro) and Silvio (Pagliacci), while establishing a strong presence in the German Lied tradition, with particular focus on Schubert, Schumann, and Richard Strauss. His artistry reflects a balance between dramatic weight and lyrical subtlety, and through this balance, listeners are drawn into a musical world defined by sincerity and emotional resonance.

As he continues to grow across international stages, Roh is increasingly recognized as a baritone who conveys interpretation with refined, expressive sound and poetic sensitivity.


His performances speak not through display, but through a voice that reaches the emotional essence of the music.
