Douglas Williams is a singer and an actor of wide ranging interests, abilities, and repertoire. Trained in singing at the New England Conservatory and Yale School of Music, and in acting at Shakespeare & Company, he is equally at home on the concert stage with some of the great symphony orchestras of the world as he is conjuring a half dozen characters in his one-man show, The Show. In opera he distinguished himself in the roles of Don Giovanni, Figaro, Nick Shadow in The Rake’s Progress, and Pluto in the American premiere of Jonathan Dove’s The Other Euridice. In musical theater he has appeared as Nick Arnstein in Funny Girl, and in Barry Manilow’s Harmony as Bobby Biberti. Douglas can be heard on a slate of classical recordings, including The Magic Flute for Deutsche Gramophone with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and the Grammy-winning recording of La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers with the Boston Early Music Festival. Doug is a passionate amateur naturalist and holds deep wonder for the forests of western New England and the high deserts of the Great Basin of the intermountain American west.
