Sean Panikkar: Free From the Burden of Perfection

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


Lisa speaks to world renowned operatic tenor Sean Panikkar about
his journey to the opera stage, his passion for his role as a
father, his experience as a finalist on AGT with Forte , his
friendship with Josh Page and how if he hadn't met his wife he
would have pursued his passion as a civil engineer.

Learn how  this extraordinary artist keeps himself balanced
in all his roles in life and work.

Sean Panikkar continues “to position himself as one of the stars
of his generation… His voice is unassailable—firm, sturdy and
clear, and he employs it with maximum dramatic versatility”
[Opera News].  The American tenor of Sri Lankan heritage
made his Metropolitan Opera debut under the baton of James Levine
in Manon Lescaut (commercially available on DVD on EMI), and his
European operatic debut in Mozart’s Zaïde at the Aix-en-Provence
Festival in a production directed by Peter Sellars and conducted
by Louis Langrée (commercially available on DVD on Opus
Arte).

Sean Panikkar is a member of Forte, the operatic tenor group
combining voices from different cultures into one incredible
sound.  The trio was created and debuted for the first time
ever on America’s Got Talent and had never met until only days
before their first audition. During the summer 2013 broadcasts of
America’s Got Talent, Forte was seen and heard by tens of
millions of television viewers in national broadcasts on
NBC.  Their self-titled debut recording on Columbia Records
was released in November 2013 and a follow-up recording, The
Future Classics, was released in 2015.
