A Toronto-based baritone described as “one to watch” (Ludwig Van Toronto), Sebastien Belcourt showcased “sensitive acting skills, his command of physical comedy and his full baritone voice” as Giuseppe in Toronto Operetta Theatre’s The Gondoliers (Opera Canada). A York University graduate in Classical Voice, Sebastien started singing choral works and oratorio with the Orpheus Choir and the Ottawa Bach Choir. This will be his second time playing Dancaïre in Carmen; the first time with Toronto City Opera. His recent roles include John in Giancarlo Menotti’s The Consul (Opera By Request), Prince Populescu in Countess Maritza, Ruder/Count Von Mark in The Student Prince (Toronto Operetta Theatre), The Pirate King in TOT’s Pirates of Penzance, Count Almaviva in Opera by Request’s Le Nozze di Figaro, the title role in SOLT’s Don Giovanni, and he played Frankenfurter in TWB’s production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Upcoming engagements include another stab as Dancaïre in Carmen at The Redwood Theatre in Toronto.
