Recently critically acclaimed
for his “outstanding” Wolfram in Tannhäuser at London's
Covent Garden, Gerald Finley is making his Les Arts debut with a
select programme of Lied, a facet of his career for which he has
been compared to the current master of song, the German Christian
Gerhaher. And it’s no exaggeration. The voice of this Canadian
bass-baritone, a Grammy Award winner, is outstanding for its
refined dramatic touch and an amazing ability to communicate with
the public, in recital, in concert - as well as in opera, as
evidenced by his latest successes at the Salzburg Festival
(Falstaff) and the Berlin Staatsoper (The Flying
Dutchman).
