Tenor Vale Rideout has garnered critical acclaim for his musical artistry and superb stagecraft throughout the United States and Europe. Possessing both a beautiful instrument and an ability to consistently deliver passionate, energetic performances, he is equally in demand for leading tenor roles from the standard repertory to contemporary premiere works at great companies around the world:

Chicago Opera Theatre | Boston Lyric Opera | New York Philharmonic | Boston Baroque | Minnesota Opera | Los Angeles Philharmonic | San Francisco Opera | Florentine Opera | Symphonica Toscanini (Rome and Brussels)

This fall, Vale travels to Milwaukee to play the role of Igneo in Río de sangre at Florentine Opera and then goes on to play Camille in The Merry Widow at Opera Tampa.

At Sugar Creek in August, he'll perform the role of the amorous Count in our production of Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville). Tickets.

As Edgardo in Lucia: “He has the dashing looks and fiery intensity this character demands, as well as the appropriate vocal weight and agility.”
