'Adrian Dwyer's brilliantly characterized Mime. 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
British-Australian tenor Adrian Dwyer has sung in many of the world's greatest opera houses and concert halls, gaining recognition for his extraordinarily 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 further afield have taken him to the Teatro Real (Madrid), Teatro Massimo (Palermo), Opernhaus Zürich, Dutch National Opera (Amsterdam), Welsh National Opera, the Israeli Opera, English National Opera, Theater Magdeburg, Opéra de Toulon, Scottish Opera, Irish National Opera, Cape Town Opera, Opera Queensland, Opera North, Birmingham Opera, Northern Ireland Opera, the State Opera of South Australia, the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall as well as the Amsterdam, Edinburgh International and Aldeburgh Festivals.

LATEST PRESS
"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

TEACHING & EDUCATION
I fell into teaching as my performing career has progressed because colleagues and students have increasingly sought me out for lessons and advice. I am informed not only by the great teachers and coaches that I have worked with, but also by what I have learnt during over 20 years' singing around the world.
