New Orleans´native son Tyrone Chambers, is an expressive and captivating tenor who, critics declare, sings with “artfully melting tenor, [and] represents a real asset.”  Recently making his Swiss debut, with L’Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, he sang Joe in Gershwin’s Blue Monday. Roles include Diron Hachard in William Grant Still’s Minette Fontaine, Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus, King Nebuchadnezzar in The Burning Fiery Furnace, Gastone in La Traviata, Hans in Schwarzwaldmädel, and Belmonte in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, the title role in Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito, and a concert of Brahms’ Liebeslieder Walzer all at Castle Henfenfeld.  As principal tenor and founding artist in New Orleans-based OperaCréole, Chambers created the role of Jean Torrès in Lucien Lambert’s La Flamenca and Basile Barès in a new work entitled Les Lions de la Reconstruction.

Mr. Chambers has been in Germany since the summer 2017 and frequently performs around the country.  The Süddeutsche Zeitung heralded him for singing with “tenorissimo…, fine in the heights, elegantly gliding on the tempi waves and in forte with powerful dedication.” He recently toured The Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical Gala throughout western Europe and Scandinavia.  The 2019-2020 season was full for Mr. Chambers with performances in Brazil, in Germany with Papageno Musiktheater in Frankfurt and Opera et Cetera, and in the USA.  In February last year just before the world changed, he performed the role of Russell Davenport in the world premiere of Dan Shore’s Freedom Ride at Chicago Opera Theater. Mr. Chambers resides in Mainz, Germany.  The artist has spent most of the pandemic in his hometown with his new baby niece and family and has managed to stay afloat with a smattering of virtual appearances and by regularly singing mass at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church New Orleans.
