Heralded as a “ripe baritone that makes one sit up and wish for more,” Kyle Oliver has enchanted listeners time and again over the course of his career.

Previous operatic highlights include portraying Zurga in Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers with Sarasota Opera, Junius in Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia with Loft Opera in New York City, Lincoln Center’s reopening as Fiorello in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia with Teatro Nuovo, as well as Berto in Manuel Garcia’s Un avvertimento ai gelosi with Caramoor Opera. Oliver has frequently performed with Pittsburgh Opera singing the roles of Prince Yamadori in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Count Robinson in Cimarosa’s Il matrimonio segreto, the Father in Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel, and, most memorably, as Dave Hoskins in the world premiere of Pittsburgh Opera’s production of The Summer King, a story detailing the life of legendary Negro League baseball star Josh Gibson.
