Strummer’s upcoming performances of the roles of Benoit and Alcindoro in Fort Worth Opera’s production of La bohème. His reputation for artistic versatility, musical flexibility, and linguistic prowess - he is fluent in seven languages and sings in many more, including a number of dialects - remain unsurpassed. Strummer approaches each performance with an artist’s creative eye, bringing fresh perspective and nuance to his detailed musical and dramatic characterizations. Never content to rest on his forty-three years of experience on the lyric stage, Mr. Concert highlights have included the Tanzmeister in ARIADNE AUF NAXOS with the Minnesota Orchestra Klaus-naar in Schönberg's GURRELIEDER with the Houston Symphony and MESSIAH with the El Paso Chorale.With more than 120 major roles, eight world premieres, and literally thousands of performances at the world’s leading opera houses under his belt, Peter Strummer stands at the pinnacle of America’s character bass-baritones.
