Since being personally chosen by Valery Gergiev for a production of LA TRAVIATA in St. Petersburg, tenor Marc Hervieux’s career has reached a new level. In the summer of 2012, he scored a great success at Festival d’opéra de Québec with his performance in the title role of NELLIGAN, an opera celebrating the life of the legendary Quebec symbolist poet. During the 2012-2013 season, he sings Alfredo in LA TRAVIATA for Calgary Opera, Eisenstein in DIE FLEDERMAUS for Opéra de Montréal, Verdi’s REQUIEM for Calgary Philharmonic and Bobinet in LA VIE PARISIENNE for L’Opéra de Québec. His 2011-2012 season was highlighted by Canio in PAGLIACCI for Calgary Opera and Eisenstein in DIE FLEDERMAUS for Opera de Montréal as well as concerts of Italian arias for Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and a ‘Salute to Vienna’ in Edmonton. The previous season included much of the same repertoire with the addition of Edgardo in LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR for Ottawa’s Opera, and he continues to be in demand for personal appearances following the release of his chart-topping CDs: Après Nous and Italian Arias with Nézet-Séguin..
