DEAN ARTISTS MANAGEMENT WELCOMES OLIVIER BERGERON (BARITONE)
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME BARITONE OLIVIER BERGERON TO THE DEAN ARTISTS MANAGEMENT ROSTER!
Born in Montreal, French-Canadian baritone Olivier Bergeron made his stage debut at Opéra de Montréal at the age of 16, singing the role of the Younger Brother in Dead Man Walking. A graduate of the Verbier Festival’s Atelier Lyrique, he enjoys a budding career both in Europe and North America. Praised for his “impeccable diction”, his “supple and round voice” as well as his “convincing acting” (Opera Canada), he is equally at home performing opera, recitals and concert work.
Following his studies at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal and at the École normale de musique de Paris, he made his European debut in 2017 with Les Talens Lyriques in the title role of La morte d'Orfeo (Landi) at the Abbaye de Royaumont conducted by Christophe Rousset, with whom he also performed Dido and Aeneas at the Festival de musique de Menton. Since then, he has appeared at Opéra Grand Avignon, Opéra de Reims and the Philharmonie de Paris. During his time as a member of Opera Fuoco's young artist program, he performed the roles of Riff (Bernstein's West Side Story), Il Poeta (Salieri's Prima la musica e poi le parole) and Andrea Coclé (Korngold's Die stumme Serenade).
Dedicated to the art song repertoire, he has appeared in recital at Wigmore Hall, the Petit Palais and Salle Cortot in Paris, at the Lachine Music Festival, with the Société d'art vocal de Montréal and at the Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur in Montreal. While a member of the Verbier Festival Academy, he was invited to perform Poulenc's Le bal masqué in the UNLTD series with the Ensemble Appassionato. He has recently recorded his first album on the Passavant Music label and is currently taking part in the recording of a new complete collection of Reynaldo Hahn's songs with Raquel Camarinha, Michèle Losier, Cyrille Dubois, Olivier Godin and Michael McMahon.
