Victor Khodadad (Ferrando in Così fan tutte) was born in Shiraz, Iran and shortly after his birth he and his family moved to the U.S.  In 1992 he received a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater.
Following several years of work in Los Angeles, including membership with the Improv group Los Angeles Theatresports, he moved to New York to pursue his career in theatre.  By 2000, Mr. Khodadad had worked at Boston Center for the Arts, Hartford Stage Company, New Jersey Shakespeare Festival, Theatreworks/USA and Yale Repertory Theater.  He was also in the original New York International Fringe Festival production of Urinetown! (the musical). While the majority of his efforts had been placed on getting work as an actor, he would occasionally be cast in musicals.
After playing the role of Jesus in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar at Swine Palace Productions, directed by Barry Kyle, former Associate Director for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the fusion of music and drama prompted Mr. Khodadad to shift his focus and begin formal vocal study with Jerome Pruett, Associate Professor of Voice at The Hartt School, in April of 2001.
In the summer of 2001, he was cast as Ferrando and Don Ottavio in concert readings in Italian for New York Opera Productions. After a turn as a super in the Met’s War & Peace he found himself, in the summer of 2002, in the Resident Artist Program at Natchez Opera Festival and then traveling to Italy, via a talent scholarship, to take part in the Spoleto Vocal Arts Symposium where he studied Italian and voice with Master Teachers Enza Ferrari and Bruno Rigacci. Recitals performed in New York and New Haven helped raise money for that trip. Singing in the chorus of Connecticut Opera in the fall of 2002 brought him his first contact with a larger regional house and encouraged him to continue his studies. This paid off when, in the summer of 2003, he returned to Natchez Opera Festival, alternately performing the roles of Benvolio and Romèo in Romèo et Juliette, and then to Hot Springs Music Festival, where he continued to gain experience singing with orchestra by performing in their production of The Magic Flute. The culmination of these efforts was enough to get him accepted into the Graduate Professional Diploma Program at The Hartt School of Music where he could gain leading role operatic experience and continue studying with Mr. Pruett.
In February of 2004, playing the role of The Male Chorus in Benjamin Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia at The Hartt School, conducted by Kyle Swann, Assistant Conductor for Connecticut Opera, proved to be another turning point for Mr. Khodadad. This was the beginning of a string of performances including Testo in Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, Tamino in The Magic Flute sung in German and conducted by the Met’s Steven Crawford, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni and his professional operatic debut singing the role of Lensky in Eugene Onegin at Opera Theater of Connecticut which was the opera’s premiere in that state. This production was presented in English with full orchestra conducted by Doris Lang-Kosloff.
Subsequent performances included Alfredo in La Traviata, Rodolfo in La bohème, Roméo in Roméo et Juliette and Nanki-poo in The Mikado. In January 2007, Mr. Khodadad sang as a soloist with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in a concert of Der Rosenkavalier excerpts conducted by Donald Runnicles. In October 2007, he sang Don Carlo and Bishop of Puebla in Carla Lucero’s new Spanish opera Juana which played to sold-out audiences at Theater Artaud in San Francisco. Engagements for 2008 included being in the Young Artist Program at Opera Santa Barbara, where he understudied Nemorino in L’Elisir d’Amore, and a return to Commonwealth Opera, CT Lyric Opera and Natchez Opera Festival as the Duke in Rigoletto, Alfred in Die Fledermaus and Ferrando in Così fan tutte, respectively. Recent engagements include Cavaradossi in Tosca for Amarillo Opera in April 2009, Don José in The Tragedy of Carmen for Hot Springs Music Festival in June 2009, Des Grieux in Manon for Dell’Arte Opera Ensemble in July 2009 and Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana at Opera Theater of Connecticut in August 2009.
