Canadian tenor David Pomeroy is enjoying a career placing him in the spotlight on the world’s most important stages. The New York Times describes him as “a powerful, agile tenor… heartfelt.” The Newfoundland native made his Metropolitan Opera debut in the title role of Faust, followed by the title role in The Tales of Hoffmann, and now receives star billing across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Recent seasons saw David engaged by New National Theatre Tokyo for Zemlinsky’s Eine florentinische Tragödie, Manitoba Opera (Don José, Carmen), Calgary Opera (Don José, Carmen), and Edmonton Opera (Cavaradossi, Tosca), a role he looks forward to reprising this season with Manitoba Opera. In concert, he appeared with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre symphonique de Québec, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and the Rhode Island Philharmonic, among others.
David’s 2021-22 season opened at the Gran Teatra del Liceu, Barcelona as Bacchus (Ariadne auf Naxos), followed by a role debut as Turiddu (Cavalleria rusticana) with Vancouver Opera, and a return to Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, Brazil as Radames (Aïda).

Other recent stage appearances include Bacchus with Oper Stuttgart, Calaf (Turandot) with the New National Theatre, Tokyo and Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, the title role of Tannhäuser with Cologne Opera, and Paul (Die tote Stadt) with Oper Frankfurt. Further recent credits include a house debut with the Orquesta Nacional de España as a soloist in Braunfels’ Te Deum; Calaf (Turandot) in debuts with New Orleans Opera, and at Brazil’s Teatro Municipal; a house debut with Opéra de Limoges as Paul in Die tote Stadt; Calaf in his debut with New National Theatre (Japan); Bacchus with Oper Stuttgart; and Faust with Vancouver Opera.

Pomeroy's debut album of repertoire from his most celebrated roles, with the 64-member Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra under Marc David, was released in fall 2020. His recent concert appearances include Verdi's Requiem with the Winnipeg Symphony, Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, as well as Messiah and “Christmas with David Pomeroy” and the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra.
