Baritone William Raskin has joined Athlone Artists for management.

In a statement, Ellen Hardcastle, head of the vocal division at Athlone Artists, said, “He caught the eye of the Athlone Artists team at the Glimmerglass Festival’s Industry Day. He sang ‘The Tower Scene’ from Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande, and the authenticity of his performance blew me and Miguel away. It was genuine.”

Raskin recently performed at The Glimmerglass Festival in “The House on Mango Street” and this season, he is set to perform the world premiere of Glen Cortese’s “221B: A Sherlock Holmes Opera” at the University of Northern Colorado.

Raskin has covered the Official in “Il barbiere di Siviglia” with Sarasota Opera and has performed with the Janesville Choral Union and Ohio Light Opera.

Recent roles include Billy Bigelow in “Carousel,” Giove in “La Calisto,” Figaro in “Il barbiere di Siviglia,” Guglielmo in “Così fan tutte,” and Dandini/Don Magnifico in “La Cenerentola.”

Raskin graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he studied under baritone Paul Rowe.
