Conrad L. Osborne

Panelist

Conrad L. Osborne’s wide-ranging career includes a decade of activity as an operatic baritone, both preceded and followed by extensive acting work in, among others, the 1981 Broadway revival of The Little Foxes with Elizabeth Taylor, eleven productions at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, numerous regional theater credits, and a recurring role on daytime television’s One Life to Live. In the meantime he became the go-to writer for classical record buyers as the lead opera/vocal critic of High Fidelity magazine from 1959 to 1983, with contributions to many other publications as well. For the last fifty years (“and counting”) he has also maintained an active private studio of voice students. He is the author of Opera as Opera: The State of the Art (2018) and of a blog, Osborne on Opera, that is regarded as a must-read by opinion leaders in the field.
