This season, his roles include Borsa in Rigoletto, Emilio in Partenope, Macduff in Working for the MacBeths, and Tybalt in Romeo & Juliet.
Praised for his "deeply affecting" (Parterre Box) performances, Logan Wagner, is quickly establishing a name for himself in concert, recital and operatic repertoire. He has impressed audiences with his “remarkable ability to act” (OnStage Pittsburgh).
A 2026 participant in the prestigious Merola Opera Program, Logan most recently performed Scaramuccio in Ariadne auf Naxos under the baton of Ann-Katrin Stöcker and the direction of Omer Ben Seadia. Previous engagements include the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Program, where he covered Borsa in Rigoletto and performed scenes from Daphne and Carmen. He returns this season to the Erie Philharmonic as the tenor soloist in Handel's Messiah.
Committed to both traditional and contemporary repertoire, Logan has appeared in the nationally televised PBS production of Blind Injustice with PEAK Performances under the baton of Tony Award-winning conductor Ted Sperling and has collaborated with Cincinnati Opera's Opera Fusion: New Works, creating roles in Robeson/Moscow and Two Corners. On the concert stage, he has appeared as tenor soloist in Handel's Messiah with both the Erie Philharmonic and Dayton Philharmonic.
Recent honors include being named a District Winner in the 2025 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition (South Carolina District), a finalist in the Partners for the Arts National Vocal Competition, and the 2024 Grand Prize Corbett Award Winner. Logan holds a Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, and Artist Diploma from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
