A native of Texas, American tenor Aaron-Casey Gould is a soloist at the Volksoper Wien and an award winner of the Concours International des Grandes Voix Lyriques d'Afrique, sponsored by Natalia Smalto’s Foundation Signature in France. His most recent role and house debuts include the Buckeliger Spieler in Sergei Prokofiev's Der Spieler at Salzburger Festspiele; the Chaplain in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites at The Dallas Opera; Nemorino in Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore at the Stadttheater Klagenfurt, directed by Nilufar K. Münzing; and Spalanzani/Nathanaël in the new production at Volksoper Wien of Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann under Emmanuel Villaume, directed by Lotte de Beer. He has appeared with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra at Nygårdsparken under Ben Glassberg in From Vienna with Love.

Summer 2026 brings his return to the Salzburger Festspiele, where he sings Frère Élie in Romeo Castellucci's new production of Messiaen's Saint François d'Assise, conducted by Maxime Pascal with the Wiener Philharmoniker. Ahead are Tamino in Die Zauberflöte and Zweiter Jude in the Luc Bondy production of Salome, both at the Volksoper Wien, and the tenor soloist in Orff's Carmina Burana, which marks his Wiener Konzerthaus debut.

He came to opera as a Meisner-trained actor, having studied extensively in NYC at Matthew Corozine and Stella Adler Studios, which shapes every role he sings to this day. At Volksoper Wien, he is acclaimed for roles including Alfred in DieFledermaus, Camille de Rosillon in Die lustige Witwe, Fenton in Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor, and Prince Caprice in Offenbach's Die Reise zum Mond. Online Merker took note of his “truly interesting timbre, [...] he is definitely someone to keep an eye on!” as Fenton, while France24 remarked “[their] favorite is tenor Aaron-Casey Gould, whose musicality is palpable across every repertoire.”

During his time in New York City, he created the title role of Dee Legendary in Joseph N. Rubinstein's Legendary commissioned by the American Opera Project and Seagle Festival, Henry Lamb in Stefania de Kenessey's Bonfire of the Vanities, and was featured in the world premiere of Iain Bell's Stonewall at New York City Opera. Off-Broadway, he appeared in For the Love of Friends, the story of Brent Nicholson Earle's AIDS awareness run.

On screen, he has appeared in award-winning director/screenwriter Natalie Jasmine Harris' queer coming-of-age HBO short film Pure; Chris J Cole's short The Contract Musical; two other HBO documentary films, YoungArts Masterclass, as himself, appearing with Bobby McFerrin and Renée Fleming. He is also seen on PBS's InnerVIEWS with Ernie Manouse and France24 giving exclusive interviews and performances.

His concert work partially includes venues like Maison de la Radio et de la Musique in Paris, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, Walter Hall in Toronto, and Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles.

Aaron-Casey studied voice at the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music and Vienna's Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst.
