Andrij Dobriansky (Ukrainian: Андрій Добрянський; September 2, 1930 – February 1, 2012) was a principal artist with the Metropolitan Opera for 30 years where he sang over 60 roles in over 900 performances.

[7][9] After the passage of the Displaced Persons Act, he received a scholarship to Amherst College and arrived in America under the name 'Andreas Dobrianskyj' in October 1950 aboard the USS General S. D. Sturgis (6).

[11] He performed the role of Jake Wallace, a traveling camp minstrel, in Puccini's La fanciulla del West.

[12] For several years he toured more than a dozen cities throughout the United States annually, some for engagements of only one night,[13] alongside other up-and-coming singers.

Dobriansky made his Metropolitan Opera Company debut in on 11 February 1970 once again in Puccini's La fanciulla del West, this time in the role of the miner Happy.

His legacy of Ukrainian liturgical singing and community involvement was documented briefly by his children on the PBS series Bare Feet in NYC.
