Gary Aldrich has employed his stage talents in every aspect of his musical career. Blessed with a voice of “uncommon compass and agility, he exhibits a brilliant, ringing top” (The Village Voice/New York) which has brought him acclaim in the lyric bel canto roles on the operatic stage as well as a lower extension which has brought him distinction on the concert platform in a wide range of both baritone and bass-baritone repertoire. He made his West Coast debut in the Verdi Requiem with the Sacramento Symphony.

Other oratorio/symphonic credits include engagements as vocal soloist with the National Chorale and Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Symphony Orchestras of Honolulu, Sacramento, Phoenix, Charleston, Nashville, Berkeley, Monterey, Syracuse, Albany, Johnstown (PA), York, Sun City (AZ), Utah, New York’s Amor Artis Orchestra, the Long Island Philharmonic, the Reno Chamber Orchestra and Philharmonic, New York City Ballet and Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre’s acclaimed production of Revelations.

Mr. Aldrich has made concert and stage appearances in Canada, England, France, Italy, Russia, and throughout the Middle East. Equally at home in the idiom of the American musical theatre, he has appeared on Broadway, at Kennedy Center, the Moscow Music Theatre and on television in Joe Raposo’s Raggedy Ann: The Musical, directed by Patricia Birch. He has starred in regional and off-Broadway productions of Sondheim’s Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, and Side by Side by Sondheim, as well as Kiss Me Kate, My Fair Lady, Camelot, Candide, Oklahoma! Jacques Brel… and Man of LaMancha.

Mr. Aldrich’s engagements also include numerous solo performances at Avery Fisher Hall at New York’s Lincoln Center as well as the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Mr. Aldrich has also performed with the Moscow Music Theatre, the Théàtre des Enfants in Lyon, France, the Sterling Theatre in London, and has sung leading roles with opera companies and symphonies throughout the United States and Canada including the world premiere of Dana Gioia/Alva Henderson’s Winter Requiem in San Francisco and the American premiere of Philippe Manoury’s 60th Parallel under the baton of Kent Nagano. 2004 saw Mr. Aldrich make his debut at Carnegie Hall in the title role of Die Fledermaus.
