Kyle Tomlin

Kyle Tomlin is an opera singer, classical soloist, and professional ensemble musician. Hailed by the Washington Post as “impressively commanding,” he performs regularly as a featured artist with opera companies and symphonies all over the United States.

His traditional operatic roles include Rodolfo (La bohème), Tybalt (Roméo et Juliette), Nemorino (L'elisir d'amore), Jupiter (Semele), and Eisenstein (Die Fledermaus). He is also an accomplished ensemble musician singing at the Washington National Cathedral and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, where he has been featured on many nationally and internationally televised events both as a soloist and as a member of those choirs.

While he regularly performs the standard repertoire, Mr. Tomlin is no stranger to new music. As a Gate City Bank Young Artist with Fargo-Moorhead Opera, he covered roles in the world premieres of Buried Alive and Embedded, two operas commissioned by the American Lyric Theatre for the Poe Project. He originated the role of John in the North American premiere of Rockland, an opera commissioned by the Pine Mountain Music Festival, where he was a Resident Opera Artist for three years. Most recently, he was a tenor soloist with the iSING! International Festival and the Philadelphia Orchestra in the North American premiere of compositions based on Chinese Tang Dynasty poems set for voice and orchestra.

He has sung at The Kennedy Center, Kimmel Center, the Music Center at Strathmore, and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. Additional companies include Virginia Opera, Toledo Opera, St. Petersburg Opera, Charlottesville Opera, Fairfax Symphony, Tallahassee Symphony, and the National Symphony Orchestra.

Mr. Tomlin is a member of the U.S. Army Chorus, the vocal counterpart of the Army’s premier music organization, The United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own.” He holds vocal degrees from Penn State University and the University of Michigan.
