Rod Gilfry is a leading American opera baritone. After launching his career at Frankfurt Opera in 1987, Gilfry quickly established a reputation for stylish singing and acting. A renowned Mozart specialist, he is an acclaimed Don Giovanni, Count Almaviva, Guglielmo, and Papageno. Gilfry is also famous for roles in the standard baritone repertoire such as Pelleas, Valentin, Oreste, Belcore, and Billy Budd.Gilfry's vocal excellence has been praised by critics of leading magazines and newspapers, such as the following recent review in the San Francisco Chronicle: "Even within the embarrassment of riches that is today's crop of baritones, Gilfry surely stands out as one of the few to treasure. Here is a lusciously shaded lyric voice with real dramatic possibilities, with phrasing full of rhythmic vitality and a stage presence many a non-musical actor might envy."Rod Gilfry was born in 1959 in Covina, California, and grew up in West Covina and Claremont. He received a bachelors degree in music education from Cal State Fullerton and a masters degree in voice from the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California. He also studied privately for six years with renowned French baritone, Martial Singher.Gilfry made his opera debut as a comprimario in Otello at Los Angeles Opera in 1986. After seven years as a principal baritone at Frankfurt Opera and Zurich Opera, he returned to the U.S. and originated roles at major houses such as the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Dallas Opera, San Diego Opera, and Los Angeles Opera. In 1999 he sought further refinement of his technique and studied in Manhattan with Armen Boyajian, teacher of Samuel Ramey and Gerald Finley.In recent years Rod Gilfry has specialized in new music, introducing roles in many new operas. The baritone is probably best known for his portrayal of Stanley Kowalski in Andre Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire at San Francisco Opera which premiered in 1998. He also created the role of Nathan in Sophie's Choice at Royal Opera House Covent Garden in 2002, a role he will reprise at Washington National Opera in September of 2006. He originated the role of Tsar Nicholas in Drattell's Nicholas and Alexandra at Los Angeles Opera in 2003. During the 2005-2006 season he played plantation owner, Edward Gaines, in the groundbreaking opera, Margaret Garner, at Opera Company of Philadelphia, Cincinnati Opera, and Michigan Opera Theatre. In November 2006 he will essay the role of Jack London in Libby Larsen's Every Man Jack for Sonoma City Opera, and in 2007 he will sing a leading role at Los Angeles Opera in Howard Shore's first opera, The Fly.Gilfry fell in love with musicals when he starred in his high school production of L'il Abner. He has sung Curly in Oklahoma, Billy Bigelow in Carousel, and Joe in The Most Happy Fella, all in Los Angeles. In New York he played Robert in the City Center Encores production of New Moon, a role he also recorded. He has told interviewers that he hopes to do a run on Broadway in a new musical or revival
