Meet Ganson Salmon

Noted by the New York Times as a "dashing lyric tenor", Indianapolis native Ganson Salmon has gained recognition for his performances in New York City and abroad.

Most recently, Mr. Salmon was a Fellow at the Ravinia Festival, participating in the Steans Music Institute’s Program for Singers.  Earlier this summer, he was a Gerdine Young Artist with Opera Theater of St. Louis.
In 2020, Mr. Salmon performed as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly with Indianapolis Opera. Before the pandemic, Salmon stepped on last minute as Roméo in Roméo et Juliette with Sarasota Opera.  In Summer 2019, he appeared as Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi with the Tel Aviv Summer Opera Program, as Rodolfo in La bohème with the Algonquin Arts Theatre, and he returned home to Indiana for special performances of Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Ball State Symphony Orchestra.

In the 2018-19 season, Salmon joined Sarasota Opera to sing Pong in Turandot, First Armored Man in Die Zauberflöte, and cover Beppe in Donizetti's Rita. In summer 2018, he returned to Pittsburgh Festival Opera for Rodolfo in La bohème.
​
Mr. Salmon completed the graduate voice program at Mannes School of Music, where he performed as Tom Rakewell in The Rake's Progress, Roderick Usher in Philip Glass' The Fall of the House of Usher, and as Anatol in Vanessa.
Ganson's other operatic credits include Mr. Rushworth in Jonathan Dove's Mansfield Park with Indianapolis Opera, Rodolfo in La bohème and Don José in La Tragédie de Carmen with Ball State Opera Theater, and the Mayor in Albert Herring with Napa Valley Music Festival.
