Hailed by The New York Times for a voice that is "fully powered and persuasively expressive,” Matthew Worth is quickly becoming the baritone of choice for innovative productions and contemporary works on the operatic leading edge. Worth joined the voice faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in the fall of 2019 after finishing PhD studies at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Performance highlights of recent seasons include the title role in the world premiere of JFK with Fort Worth Opera, the world premiere of The Manchurian Candidate with Minnesota Opera, and Moby Dick at Washington National Opera. He has performed principal roles at Santa Fe Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Opéra de Montréal, Tanglewood Festival, Cincinnati Opera, and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.

In addition to his operatic career, Worth is a committed recitalist and active concert soloist. Notable concert performances include; Schumann’s Dichterliebe and Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer with the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Ein deutsches Requiem under James DePriest at Carnegie Hall, and Carmina Burana at Alice Tully Hall with the Richmond Choral Society. Worth has been featured in concerts with the Atlanta Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Boston Pops Orchestra, and has performed with conductors such as Donald Runnicles, Robert Spano, and James Conlon.
