MARK DUBOIS
Mark DuBois
Mark DuBois is universally acclaimed for the exceptional clarity and tonal purity of his lyric-tenor voice, and for his artistry and musicianship in performance. His extraordinary versatility garners plaudits from audiences and critics alike in all genres of music, whether opera, operetta, oratorio, lieder, baroque, or the classics of Broadway and modern musical theatre.
He has performed with every major orchestra in his native Canada and with several in the USA, including those of Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Naples, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Rochester, and San Francisco. Mark’s busy career on opera and concert stages has taken him across Canada, the USA, Italy, France, Belgium, Hungary, Austria, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Bermuda, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
During the 2003-2004 season Mark gave a concert tour in Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and New York City. Later that season, he was tenor soloist in a concert tour of the new composition Oratorio Terezin by Ruth Fazal, performed to great audience acclaim in the prestigious venues of Reduta Hall (Bratislava), Vienna Konzerthaus, St. Peter and Paul Cathedral (Brno), and Smetana Hall (Prague).
The numerous music festivals where he has appeared include such prestigious names as Ravinia, Tanglewood, New England Bach Festival, Hollywood Bowl, London's Wigmore Hall, Cannes Midem Classique, Budapest Spring Festival, and Festival International de Lanaudière.
Career highlights include performing for the late Pope John Paul II, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, President Ronald Reagan, and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. He performed at the farewell concert honouring the great Canadian soprano Lois Marshall and was guest soloist at the Right Honourable D. Roland Michener's (Governor General of Canada) State Funeral. Recently, Mark was interviewed by CBC television for Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee Gala at Roy Thomson Hall, which was broadcast live from the stage via CBC television and radio networks.
He is heard regularly on national radio network broadcasts in a wide variety of performances, and has appeared in several television specials including The Life of Emmerich Kalman, Bach’s Magnificat, as the Chevalier in Dialogues des Carmélites, Handel's Messiah conducted by Trevor Pinnock, and in the lead role of Shanty in the Canadian premiere of Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio under the baton of Carl Davis, the co-composer of the work.
