Roles for the “compelling and technically confident” (Opera Canada) mezzo-soprano include the High Priestess in Äida, Gertrude in Hansel and Gretel, Second Maid in Elektra and Berta in Il barbiere di Siviglia. The Ontario native is a recent Master’s graduate in Opera at the University of Toronto.

That rarest of voices, a true bass, Matthew Treviño’s repertoire stretches from the classical idiom epitomized by Sarastro in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte to the contemporary complexities of works by Robert Patterson, Michael Nyman and Gordon Getty. Terviño has appeared with English National Opera, Vancouver Opera, St. Louis Symphony, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, Opera Leipzig, Florentine Opera, Hawaii Opera Theatre, Colorado Symphony, and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Possessing a “mellifluous bass that is at once robust and gentle” (Opera Magazine), the Texas native’s discography includes The Canterville Ghost, The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat and Three Way. Mr. Treviño is a former member of the world renowned Merola Opera Program in San Francisco and is a graduate of Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He was a winner in the Loren L. Zachary Foundation Competition, Dallas Opera Competition, Fort Worth Opera’s McCammon Voice Competition, and the recipient of the Thomas Stewart Award for Vocal Excellence at Baylor University. The Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montréal recently appointed Mr. Treviño to the position of Assistant Professor, Voice.
