BIOGRAPHY
Lyric Tenor Spencer Lawrence Boyd has sung leading opera roles across the United States to great reception including Nemorino (pictured right, above), Don José (pictured top of screen), Tamino, Count Almaviva, Gabriel von Eisenstein, and Vincent (Gounod’s Mireille). He has also been seen in many other supporting roles, musical theater roles, and in a wide range of oratorio and symphonic works, recitals, and scenes programs. Boyd recently finished residencies with Des Moines Metro Opera (Summer ‘23), Opera Colorado (’21-’22), and Teatro Nuovo (Summer ’22) and is a two-time fellow of the Aspen Music Festival and School.
A native of Canal Fulton, OH, Mr. Boyd holds performance degrees from Chapman University, Kent State University, and completed post-graduate performance studies at Indiana University with internationally acclaimed soprano Carol Vaness.
In the Summer of ‘23 Spencer covers Don José, his third opportunity to sing the role, with Des Moines Metro Opera. He also sings the Master of Ceremonies and a featured chorus track in Prokofiev’s The Love for Three Oranges and will be participating in scene work and an orchestra concert.
Recent highlights for Boyd have included Henrik Egerman (A Little Night Music) with Broadway conductor Andy Einhorn, the tenor soloist in Beethoven’s Symphony no. 9 with the Louisville Orchestra conducted by Teddy Abrams, and his NYC debut as Selimo in Maometto secondo with Teatro Nuovo. In a WFIU Indiana Public Radio review of his Don José George Walker wrote ”His singing, especially in duets was very fine.”
