  • Elliot Madore
  • It’s difficult to resist the panache in Toronto-born baritone Elliot Madore. Winner of the 2010 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, and not yet 25 years of age, he is already gaining international raves for his voice and artistry. Performing arias and songs from Don Giovanni, The Barber of Seville, Die tote Stadt, and Carousel with the orchestra, this rising operatic star will also present a recital of music by Ravel, Poulenc and de Falla accompanied by Bill Eddins at the piano.
