Lyric Opera 2022-2023 Issue 4- Don Carlos

Lyric Opera of Chicago | 42 RENÉ BARBERA Previously at Lyric: Twelve roles since 2009/10, most recently Italian Singer/ Der Rosenkavalier (2015/16), Ernesto/ Don Pasquale (2012/13). Also this season: Duke/ Rigoletto , Dallas Opera; Nemorino/ The Elixir of Love, Royal Opera House Muscat. Among the many memorable moments of my three seasons with the Ryan Opera Center (2009−2012) was working with senior colleagues who were performing at Lyric. I learned so much from Frank Lopardo about the role of Nemorino in The Elixir of Love —and about singing—and I carry that knowledge with me to this day. For these and numerous other lessons and experiences that shaped my artistry and enabled me to successfully launch my career, I will always be deeply grateful.
