Alex Boyd, baritone

Described by The New York Times as a “most consistently satisfying” baritone, Alex Boyd is a lifelong musician who has been performing internationally from a young age.

An audience favorite among the young artists at Sarasota Opera, Boyd has been praised for his work on rarely performed pieces as well as cornerstone genre favorites alike.  His performance as Moruccio in the lesser known D’Albert opera, Tiefland, “melded a firm baritone with moody acting” (Classical Voice America), and his work as Scarpia (Tosca), Monterone (Rigoletto), Le Dancaire (Carmen), and Haly (L’Italiana in Algieri) has earned him similar recognition.  While in residence at Sarasota Opera, he also covered larger roles, including the eponymous Rigoletto, Germont (La Traviata), Dr. Malatesta (Don Pasquale), and Manfredo (L’Amore dei tre re).

He recently returned to Pittsburgh Festival Opera, where he premiered Mr. Rogers’ Operas – two of thirteen one-act operas composed by Fred Rogers himself.  There, he brought to life the roles of King Kittypuss and Robert Redgate.  He also studied and performed as a member of the Pittsburgh Festival Opera’s Mastersingers program, where he performed the role of Donner and covered Wotan in both Das Rheingold and Die Walküre under the guidance of Wagnerian experts Jane Eaglen and Eric Weimer.

Boyd’s prestige has been acknowledged by numerous competitions, including the New York Lyric Opera in which he placed second in 2016, and the Mildred Miller and Opera Tampa D’Angelo 2018 competitions, where he was a semifinalist.  He has received scholarships from both the Bradenton and Sarasota opera guilds.
