Alek Shrader

Alek Shrader


Vocalists — Tenor

"Mr. Shrader sang a series of highly demanding bel canto arias, replete with ornate passagework, including ‘Ah! mes amis’ from La Fille du Regiment, with its nine high C’s. High C is Mr. Shrader’s money note, and the audience went wild after his full-voiced final one. Turning to show songs, Mr. Shrader sand a disarmingly sweet account of ‘Maria’ from West Side Story.” —Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times – July 15, 2009

"Alek Shrader - a natural both as a prince and a comic - reveled alike in cantabile and coloratura, crowning his performance with an authoritative 'Cessa di più resistere." —Matthew Gurewitsch, Opernwelt, June 2009

"Tenor Alek Shrader sailed through Almaviva's virtuosic material and made a jovial thing of the various disguises. In Act II, he seized the aria that is normally cut and rendered it a coloratura highlight." —Cleveland, The Plain Dealer, March 2009
