Craig Irvin performed for the Moonlight Serenade Glenn Miller Music Scholarship Program Fund-Raising Dinner on February 9, 2019 at the Glenn Miller Birthplace Museum - 122 West Clark Street in Clarinda, Iowa.
Baritone Craig Irvin brings a vibrant sound and commitment to character to each role he portrays. Craig recently made role and company debuts with Wolf Trap Opera as the Villains in The Tales of Hoffman and then returned to Wolf Trap in 2012 for Leporello in Don Giovanni. Additionally, he debuted with Minnesota Opera in the world premiere of Kevin Puts' new opera Silent Night, appeared with the Canadian Opera Company as Betto in Gianni Schicchi and covered the role of Simone in A Florentine Tragedy, and joined the cast of Simon Boccanegra with Los Angeles Opera covering the role of Paolo. The 2013-2014 season brought debuts with both Fort Worth Opera and Cincinnati Opera reprising his Lieutenant Horstmayer in Silent Night, his return to Minnesota Opera as Mandryka in Arabella and his role debut as Dandini in Pensacola Opera's La Cenerentola. During the 2013-2014 season, Craig returns to Minnesota Opera as Peter in Hansel und Gretel, debuts at Utah Opera as Zurga in Les pecheurs de perles, reprises the role of Lieutenant Horstmayer in Silent Night with Lyric Opera of Kansas City and joins Nashville Opera and Pensacola Opera as the Pirate King in The Pirates of Penzance.
While in residence with Lyric Opera of Chicago's Ryan Opera Center, Craig was seen as Zuniga in Carmen, Theseus in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Sam in A Masked Ball, Iperial Commissioner in Madama Butterfly, Doctor/Professor in Lulu, and Ashby in La fanciulla del West. Additionally, he covered the roles of Bottom, the title role in The Mikado, the title role in Hercules, and Escamillo in Carmen (a role he sang in the student matinee performance). In the 2009-2010 season, he returned for a second year with Lyric Opera of Chicago where his assignments included Angelotti in Tosca as well as covering the roles of Bartolo in Le nozze di Figaro and Brander in Berlioz's Damnationo of Faust. Additionally, he was seen with the Koxville Opera as Bsilio in Il barbiere di Siviglia and as a soloist in Verdi's Requiem with the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra.
It was a great honor to have Craig perform for us at the Scholarship Dinner.
