Tenor Alek Shrader returns for Opera Theatre's 'Il Re Pastore' - [STLtoday.com Entertainment]

This season, he also sang the role of Almaviva in Opera Cleveland’s production of Il Barbiere di Siviglia, to which the Clevelan Plain Dealer said, "Tenor Alek Shrader sailed through Almaviva's virtuosic material and made a jovial thing of the various disguises. In Act II, he seized the aria that is normally cut and rendered it a coloratura highlight."
- Cleveland, The Plain Dealer, March 2009

St. Louis is fortunate to have this rising star in town! If you have the chance, be sure to catch his Alexander the Great in Mozart's 'Il Re Pastore.'
