Limmie Pulliam
Calaf
Rising dramatic tenor Limmie Pulliam has thrilled audiences with his captivating stage presence and his “stentorian, yet beautiful,” sound.
The 2025-26 season features exciting debuts and returns for Pulliam, including his return to the Cleveland Orchestra for Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (Maestro Franz Welser-Möst), and debut with the Dallas Symphony for Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 (Fabio Luisi). He appears in recital with the Exeter Academy, Baltimore Community Concerts, Manchester UMC, and the Dorothy Cotton Jubilee Singers at Ithaca College. In concert he joins the Jacksonville Symphony at the Kravis Center, the Festival International de Musique Saint-Georges in Guadeloupe for Pagliacci, and he sings Verdi’s Requiem with the Memphis Symphony.
Last season, Limmie Pulliam made an anticipated role debut as Calaf in Turandot for a special benefit concert for University of Houston’s Moore School of Music, followed by further performances of the role in his debut with the Minnesota Orchestra (Thomas Søndergård). He debuted with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra as Radamès in Aida (Jonathan Heyward) and collaborated again with Yannick Nézét-Seguin in his debut with the Orchestre Métropolitain for Bruckner’s Te Deum. Elsewhere, he made his role and house debut as Samson in Samson et Dalila with New Orleans Opera, house debuts with Austin Opera for Verdi’s Requiem and Arizona Opera as Radamès in Aida.
