WHO'S ON STAGE THIS FALL?

A Love Duet On and Off the Stage:

Cadie J. Bryan and Jonathan Bryan in Piedmont Opera's Pagliacci

This season at Piedmont Opera, art and life collide in thrilling harmony as real-life married opera singers Cadie J. Bryan and Jonathan Bryan take center stage in Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. The couple brings an extraordinary depth of connection to their roles—Cadie as the passionate and conflicted Nedda, and Jonathan as her lover, the dashing Silvio.

Known for her crystalline soprano and expressive artistry, Cadie J. Bryan has graced stages across the world, including a memorable performance with Andrea Bocelli that captivated audiences. Her command of both lyricism and dramatic nuance makes her a natural fit for the role of Nedda, a woman torn between duty and desire.

Jonathan Bryan, a baritone praised for his rich tone and magnetic stage presence, steps into the role of Silvio, Nedda’s secret lover. Their onstage chemistry is no act—the pair’s deep bond infuses every glance and phrase with authenticity, bringing Leoncavallo’s tragic love story vividly to life.

Together, Cadie and Jonathan Bryan offer audiences more than just beautiful singing. They share something rare in opera: a living, breathing love duet—crafted not only through music but through a life built in harmony.
