Blake Davidson
Baritone/Bass
Blake Davidson made his international debut in concert at the Tokyo Opera House, preceded by a presentation at Alice Tully Hall in New York as a part of his Bellini Competition Award (Italy). He has returned to Carnegie Hall since then to sing concerts in Weill Hall. He has soloed with major orchestras in symphony halls around the world including Dallas (also heard on DSO CD A Dallas Christmas Gala), Fort Worth, Auckland (NZ), Galveston, Florida, Tokyo, Italy, and Paris. He has performed leading and supporting roles with the opera companies of Dallas (Fidelio), Sarasota (Macbeth), Auckland Philharmonia (Pagliacci), Anchorage (La Boheme), and The Opera Project. Equally at home on the musical theater stage, his favorite roles include Fred Graham/Petruchio in Kiss Me, Kate, Caiaphas in Jesus Christ Superstar, Juan Peron in Evita, and Javert in Les Miserables. He has partnered with world renown soprano Sylvia McNair on 2 separate occasions and has sung under the batons of such luminary conductors as Andrew Litton, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Richard Kaufman, Donald Neuen, David Davidson, Hector Guzman, and Michael Slon. “Blake Davidson stood out from the pack with a ringing, glorious baritone. He displayed exceptional power even in his highest notes and a consistently gorgeous tone” So says the Fort Worth Star Telegram. Other reviewers and audiences have echoed the same sentiment upon hearing this most unique of talents.
