In his first year as a fest singer, he has been tapped to sing Papageno in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, Silvio in Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci, Ruggiero in Halévy’s La juive, Kilian and Ottokar in Der Freischütz, and Fiorello in Il barbiere di Siviglia. Additional credits include the world premiere of Febel’s Benjamin Button and a rare performance of Oberleithner’s Der eiserne Heiland. Previous to joining the ensemble in Linz, York was seen as Ned Keene in Staatstheater Augsburg's Peter Grimes, Escamillo in Andrea Bernard's adaptation of Carmen at Opéra Grand Avignon, and as Schaunard in La bohème under the baton of James Gaffigan at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
