A native of Mazatlán, México, Péréz is an alumnus of the Domingo-Thornton Young Artist Program of LA Opera. Pérez opened the 2010/11 LA Opera season as Di Cosimo in the world premiere of Daniel Catán’s Il Postino, sharing the stage with Plácido Domingo. Later this year, he will make his New York City Opera debut in L’elisir d’amore, performing the role of Bel Core.
The Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s under the direction of Thomas Neenan will accompany Mr. Perez in operatic arias by Rossini and Mozart as well as zarzuela selections by Torroba and Grever. The orchestra will also perform Respighi’s popular “Ancient Airs and Dances”” and Haydn’s Symphony No. 63
