The Times

 The exceptional talents of the tenor Adrian Dwyer have been acclaimed across the globe. He has garnered great praise for his "gorgeously honey-toned" and "thrilling" voice and moving portrayals in a repertoire spanning Mozart and the Bel Canto through to Wagner and Contemporary Opera.

He was then offered a full scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London. He completed his studies at the National Opera Studio with the support of the Friends of Covent Garden.
