OPERA

Paul R. Coate is described by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as a “strong vocalist, bringing a robust tenor”. Paul especially enjoys bringing a fun theatrical playfulness to opera’s ‘character tenor’ roles. His voice has been broadcast nationally on PBS and regionally on Minnesota Public Radio. He has appeared with Opera Omaha, Lyric Opera Of The North, Skylark Opera, Angels & Demons Entertainment, and in concert with the Minnesota Orchestra, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the Omaha Symphony. He has been conducted by Maestros Osmo Vänskä, Andrew Litton, Sarah Hicks, Hal France, Courtney Lewis, Neal Gittelman, Andrew Sewell, and Ernest Richardson.
