The Opera Magazine once praised Tenor Yulin Wang’s debut at Lincoln Center in Alice Tully Hall as Kalaf in Ferruccio Busoni’s opera Turandot, “The standout voice, wielding a substantial, honeyed tenor with confidence—an increasing in dramatic sensitivity and passion as the performance went on.” He was also commended in other media as having “a strong instrument cutting right through the orchestration” and “a ringing bright tenor with an easy pingy top.”

Yulin performs opera and art song including Classical, Bel canto, Romantic and Contemporary styles. Yulin is thrilled to be joining MN Opera’s 2026-2027 season in The Many Deaths of Laila Starr in his MN Opera debut. He will be a Studio Artist with Aspen Opera Theater and VocalARTS in 2026, performing in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte and Kirkland Snider’s Hildegard.

Yulin was a Lehrer Vocal Institute Fellow at Music Academy of the West in 2025. He performed Ned Rorem’s Four Dialogues as the role of Men and in Opera Scenes as Pinkerton in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Anatol in Barber’s Vanessa, and Louis in Kevin Puts’s The Hours. He also covered Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. He has also performed the role of Don Ottavio at the Estate Theatre in Národni Dvadlo, the stage where Don Giovanni originally premiered.

Originally from China, Yulin holds degrees from Central Academy of Drama in Beijing (Bachelor of Arts) and Manhattan School of Music (Master of Music), and is pursuing a Professional Studies Diploma at Mannes School of Music.

He performed the role of Roméo in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette when he was at Manhattan School of Music. Yulin performed a lot of concerts. Highlights include sharing the stage with Nadine Sierra and Seokjong Baek in the concert “A New Generation in Opera” and cooperating with pianist Bryan Wagorn in the concert Celebration of Mannes Opera.
