Biography: 

Canadian tenor John Mac Master has performed the most demanding roles of the dramatic repertoire the world over: Cavaradossi (Tosca), Canio (Pagliacci), Otello, Manrico (Trovatore), Calaf (Turandot), Peter Grimes, Florestan (Fidelio), Tristan, Erik (Fliegende Holl盲nder) and Bacchus (Ariadne auf Naxos), have been his calling cards at the Metropolitan Opera, Op茅ra Nationale de Paris, Vienna Volksoper; for the Gergiev Festival in Rotterdam, in Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Dresden, Barcelona, Melbourne, Singapore, Seoul, Beijing; for San Francisco Opera, New York City Opera, Opera Australia, all over the United States, and with every major symphony orchestra and opera company in Canada. He has performed with many of the greatest conductors of our time: Sir Colin Davis, Bernard Haitink, Sir Charles Mackerras, Richard Hickox, James Levine, Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin, Daniel Harding, Mario Bernardi, Bramwell Tovey, Valery Gergiev and Robert Spano.

On the concert stage, he has been engaged for Beethoven Symphony No 9, Verdi Requiem, Orff Carmina Burana, Mahler Symphony No 8 and Das Lied von der Erde on countless occasions, but also for Janacek鈥檚 Glagolitic Mass, Schoenberg Gurrelieder, and Elgar鈥檚 Dream of Gerontius.

Mac Master brings a wide and varied experience to his teaching. He began singing Acadian folksongs in the French language schools he attended in Moncton, and later would lead rock bands, and become a cantor and church musician in Roman Catholic parishes in Montreal, Toronto and New York. Choral music was and remains a passion: Iwan Edward鈥檚 St. Lawrence Choir, Wayne Riddell鈥檚 Tudor Singers and five years as a professional chorister in Lotfi Mansouri鈥檚 Canadian Opera Company were all foundational. Onstage he also sang leading roles in musical theatre at Winnipeg鈥檚 Rainbow Stage, the Shaw Festival and in Phantom of the Opera in Toronto and on Broadway.

His recordings include Beethoven Fidelio and Symphony No. 9 with the London Symphony Orchestra; von Weber鈥檚 Euryanthe with the Polish Radio Orchestra; Love for Three Oranges on Chandos; the world premiere recording of Langgarrd鈥檚 Antikrist (Danachord) and Handel鈥檚 Berenice on the Newport Classic label.

Appointed Assistant Professor in The Schulich School of Music at 成人VR视频 in 2016, he taught previously at Western University in London ON, and is committed to sharing his knowledge and love for this great art with a new generation of performers and scholars. A graduate of Loyola CEGEP, Concordia and 成人VR视频 Universities, this appointment to the Schulich School of Music marks a welcome return to this city he loves, and where he has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with L鈥橭rchestre M茅tropolitain and L鈥橭p茅ra de Montr茅al.
