ADRIAN DWYER

'Reptilian and semi-danced, servile when confronted by the Wanderer but baleful when charting his doomed course to power, Dwyer's turn dialled the energy levels up to breathless."

Opera Magazine

"Adrian Dwyer is simply a superb Mime in every way, vocally and dramatically, virtually a comic mime in his physicality"

Playstosee

tenor Adrian Dwyer has sung in many of the world's greatest opera houses and concert halls, gaining recognition for his wide-ranging vocal ability and vivid theatrical presence in works from the 19th century to the present day.

He made his Covent Garden main stage debut in 2019 as Anatole in David Pountney’s new production of Prokofiev’s War and Peace for Welsh National Opera, following what critics called a “career-defining” house debut with the company as Andrei in Mussorgsky’s Khovanshchina.

Engagements have taken him to the Teatro Real (Madrid), Teatro Massimo (Palermo), Opernhaus Zürich, Grand Théâtre de Genève, Dutch National Opera (Amsterdam), the Deutsche Oper am Rhein (Düsseldorf), Welsh National Opera, the Israeli Opera, English National Opera, Theater Magdeburg, Opéra de Toulon, Scottish Opera, Irish National Opera, Cape Town Opera, Opera North, Opera Queensland, the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall as well as the Amsterdam, Edinburgh International and Aldeburgh Festivals.

"Tenor Adrian Dwyer convinces with his incredibly high, bright, and very clear tenor as well as with his lively, multifaceted playing, which leaves no doubts about his pride in his creation of the cockerel, his desire of the tsarina or his rage over Dodon."

Birgit Kleinfeld, Operngestalten

"Adrian Dwyer as the Astrologer, who delivers the almost painfully high tenor part without any grating, preserves the mystery inherent in the composition of the character, and acts with almost dance-like agility."

Andreas Falentin, Die Deutsche Bühne
