CHRISTOPHER FREEZE

TENOR

"Freeze, in particular, seems to sing effortlessly throughout. The quality of his tenor voice is smooth, light and rich, all at the same time."

    -Tri-City Herald (La Bohème, January 2003)

 

 

Christopher Freeze graduated in June 2001 from Cambridge University, where he was a Choral Scholar in the choir of King’s College, studying voice with Susan Waters. While an undergraduate, Mr. Freeze appeared as a soloist in concert performances of major works by Handel, Haydn, Mozart, and Puccini, and performed several recitals of song and Lieder including works by Schumann, Beethoven, and Finzi; in June 2001 he sang the title role of La Clemenza di Tito.

From August 2001 until August 2003, he lived in Seattle and studied with Erich Parce. There he sang Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi at the University of Washington and Rodolfo in La Bohème with Washington East Opera. 

Since the autumn of 2003, Mr. Freeze has pursued a degree as Master of Music at Indiana University, Bloomington, studying with Costanza Cuccaro.  For the University he has sung title role of Peter Grimes and that of Rodolfo in La Bohème.  Recent performances have included the St. John Passion and the Messiah for Christ Church Cathedral in Indianapolis, and Das Lied von der Erde at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, for which the Boston Globe reviewed him as 'young and highly promising'.  For summer 2005, Mr. Freeze joins the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Singer Program.
