Anthony Kearns, considered Ireland’s Finest Tenor, is recognized around the globe for over a decade of extraordinary collaborative work with the PBS super-group, The Irish Tenors, with whom he still tours annually. In addition to his exceptional work with the trio, singly he is in demand in Ireland for concerts and on opera stages. Their CDs have gone Gold, Platinum, and Double Platinum.
Anthony also has a thriving solo career touring North America at least twice each year singing in packed houses from coast to coast both solo and in opera.
Kearns' leading opera roles include: Faust for Opera Ireland, Don Jose in a Glasthule Opera Company (Ireland) production of Carmen, and Don Giovanni
(Don Ottavio) for Lismore Music Festival, also in Ireland. Anthony's performances received high praise in the Irish Times. He made his U.S. operatic debut in early spring of 2010 singing Romeo in an Opera Naples (FL) production of Romeo & Juliet: Then and Now, and performed again with them as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermore in 2011. He returns to Opera Naples to sing the title role in Faust in 2012. Emerald City Opera (CO) invited Anthony to perform Alfred in their production of Die Fledermaus during the summer of 2011.
Anthony is a classically trained tenor with the incredible ability to flawlessly sing what audiences love to hear. His solo concerts run the spectrum brilliantly from Ireland to Broadway; from well-loved melodies to popular classics; from light hearted comedy to the drama of opera.
Anthony Kearns is the consummate performer with universal appeal. He establishes immediate rapport with his audiences, dazzling them with a re-birth of music they have loved for years: Broadway’s beautiful hits, the remarkable Lanza songbook, Viennese romance, Italian classics, and the lovely lilt of Ireland.
Anthony’s astonishing talent lights up a stage. He enthralls crowds with the power and magnificence of his voice and his all-encompassing repertoire. Bravos ring out all evening long at Anthony Kearns concerts and his audiences pull him back encore after encore.
