A native of Miami, Florida, Anthony
Offerle's credits include performances with the OperaEstate and
Operafestival di Roma in Italy, Cincinnati Opera, International Chamber
Orchestra in Rome, Columbia Symphony, Dayton Opera, Detroit Philharmonic,
Charleston Symphony, Evansville Philharmonic, and the Piccolo Spoleto
Festival to name a few. He has sung over 30 roles including title roles in
Don Giovanni and Don Pasquale, Papageno in Die Zauberflöte, and Dr. Bartolo
in Il Barbiere di Siviglia. Mr. Offerle is equally at home with the musical
theater repertoire and has performed the Major General in The Pirates of
Penzance, Sir Despard Murgtroyd in Ruddigore, Riff in West Side Story, and
Curly in Oklahoma. Also active as a recitalist and oratorio performer, he
recently sang as a guest soloist in London's Westminster Abbey and St.
Paul's Cathedral as well as St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Mr. Offerle was the overall national-winner of the Federation of Music Clubs
vocal competition, has twice been a Metropolitan Opera auditions regional
finalist, and was one of only ten Americans selected to compete in the
quadrennial Marian Anderson International Vocal Competition held in
Baltimore, Maryland. In March 2002, he was a finalist in the Savannah
Onstage: American Traditions Competition. He has studied with a number of
renowned teachers including Italo Tajo and Andrew B. White at the University
of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Dr. Carl Gerbrandt and Thomas
Poole at the University of Northern Colorado, and Jane F. Rolandi and Mollie
Rich in South Carolina and Florida. |

not long they were impressive."
(The Charleston Post and Courier)
The Tender Land - Northern Colorado Opera

voice we must hear more of."
(Rocky Mountain News)
Carmen - Evansville Philharmonic
" …and Anthony Offerle's Zuniga packed a powerful punch"
