Eswatini-born Southern African baritone Thandolwethu Mamba continues to establish himself on opera and concert stages and has been described as “possessing an extraordinary capacity for timbral flexibility which he exploits with artistic maturity and musical tact” (Classical Voice of North Carolina).
Recent engagements include his Metropolitan Opera debut in X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X, and performances with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Opera Orlando, Opera Wilmington, and Florida Grand Opera. His creation of the role of Don Calogero Sedàra in the Frost Opera Theater premiere of Michael Dellaria's The Leopard has been released on Naxos Records' American Opera Classics.
Mamba is a Washington National Opera Cafritz Young Artist for the 2025-26 season. Thando, as he is more commonly known, is committed to developing the growth of Opera as a celebrated and sustainable art form in his home country and the continent of Africa at large.
