Lauded for his "big, heroic voice" (LA Weekly) and "powerful emotions", tenor Dane Suarez has developed an exciting and varied career.
In the 2022/23 season, Dane made his Off-Broadway debut in Kate Tarker's world premiere play Montag at Soho Rep and covered Apollo (Strauss's Daphne) with American Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. He sang Luigi (Il tabarro) with On Site Opera, Turiddu (Cavalleria rusticana) with Lyric Opera of the North, returned to New Jersey Festival Orchestra as Rinuccio (Gianni Schicchi), and joined OperaDelaware, The Carolina Philharmonic, Penn Square Opera, Heartbeat Opera, and Maryland Opera for concert and gala performances.
Dane's 2021/22 season included a return to Opera Memphis starring as the tortured Canio in a new production of Pagliacci; his debut as Manrico (Il trovatore) and a jump-in as Lensky (Eugene Onegin) with Opera in the Heights; a reprisal of Scalia (Scalia/Ginsburg) with both Penn Square Opera and Opera in the Heights; company debuts as Rodolfo with Opera Birmingham and Newport Classical, and his role and company debuts as Pollione (Norma) with Festival Opera. He was seen in concert for a recital with wife Kerriann Otaño for Il Cenacolo Club of SF, a debut with New Jersey Festival Orchestra for The Three Holiday Tenors, a return to Maryland Opera for a livestreamed concert entitled Variant Valentine, and a return to his alma mater (Butler University) as guest tenor soloist for Verdi's Messa da Requiem.
His magnificent, Italiante tenor continues to bloom, and his fiery declamation brought roars of approval from the audience.
