Overview
American tenor Bryan Hymel is one of opera’s fastest-rising stars.
Impressing audiences with his ‘clarion tone and a ringing top’ (Opera), he is joined by guest mezzo-soprano Irene Roberts. Hymel is an exclusive Warner Classics recording artist and winner of the 2013 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera for a trio of performances at London’s Royal Opera House.
‘Pavarotti, roll over. There’s a new king of the high Cs.…Hymel’s voice is rare these days: a combination of Wagnerian muscle and bel canto refinement, comfortable in the stratospheric register… This is why we listen to opera!’ NPR
‘If Hymel had been born a generation earlier we might have had The Four Tenors. That’s how good he is.’ Sinfini Music
