Isaac Tobler is so excited for his first leading role with Opera Columbus! Studying vocal performance at Wright State University, Isaac was able to focus on his life-long love for singing and performing. During his studies, Isaac starred in the role of Papageno in The Magic Flute and Sir Joseph Porter in H.M.S. Pinafore, to name a couple. Isaac had the privilege to work masterclasses with vocal greats such as Roderick Dixon, Alfreda Burke, and the legendary Stephen Schwarts while studying there. After Wright State, Isaac went back to his musical theater roots where he worked with Dare 2 Defy Productions, in Dayton, Ohio. With D2D, Isaac was cast in HAIR, and his dream role to date, Tom Collins in their 2014 production of RENT. In his time away, Isaac has remained a community liaison for the LGBTQ+ community, performing under his forename, Isaac Ismael. Isaac has hosted and performed at local community events such as ComFest and Columbus Pride while capturing local and national recognition throughout competitions and shows. Isaac was elated to rejoin the performing community by starring in the Short North Stage’s production of Ain’t Misbehavin’ as Andre, and then first working with Opera Columbus in their production of The Threepenny Opera. In his downtime, Isaac enjoys spending time with his friends, trying new restaurants, and keeping his cats content at home. So deeply appreciative of this opportunity, Isaac wishes the rest of this cast an excellent run, and thanks to all the attending audience and support system he has.
