Stephen Gould is an American heldentenor, born in Virginia.
Having started in musical theatre, in 2006 he performed the title-role of Siegfried in Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at Bayreuth. However, "Tannhäuser 's character is more appropriate to me than Siegfried", said Gould to Forum Opéra in December 2007.[1]
In 2009 Gould performed in several opera houses, including <Korngold's Die tote Stadt in London, Peter Grimes in Geneva, Tannhäuser at Las Palmas and also in Rome, Otello in Tokyo, and Der Ring des Nibelungen at Vienna State Opera
