“A voice of uncommon beauty…. a name to note,” wrote British music critic Andrew Porter of a young Gary Relyea. Today that promise has been more than fulfilled through performances with opera companies and orchestras on 5 continents, and a stellar career that boasts more appearances with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra than any other male singer in the last 45 years. Whether performing Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder with the Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, or recording Boris’s arias from Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov with the Vancouver Symphony, or singing his signature role of Mendelssohn’s Elijah in over 50 performances, Mr. Relyea’s vocal artistry continues to charm and awe audiences everywhere.
