Adam Alexander, a native New Yorker, received a bachelor's degree in vocal performance from Boston University and a master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music. A solid musician, Adam has sung in professional choruses for the last ten years, including the New York Choral Artists with the New York Philharmonic, the choir at St. Ignatius Loyola, the Boston Bach Ensemble, and singing back-up for Barry Manilow with the Boston Pops. He has performed principal roles with the Bronx Opera, the Princeton Repertory Theater, and at the Manhattan School of Music.

Adam's early performing experience draws from the American Musical Theater tradition. This important foundation, and has helped him find a niche in the classical world, lending his unique physicality to Opera. Last year, Adam participated in the Singer's Circle at the New Jersey Opera Theater, and toured in their outreach production of Carmen as Escamillo and Zuniga. He also completed the apprentice program at Des Moines Metro Opera, and will return there on the main stage this summer to play Puck, in Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. This spring, Adam used his skills in stage combat to not only choreograph the fights, but perform them as well, in the role of Mercutio with Opera Brooklyn's Roméo et Juliette (Gounod).


Recently, Adam has crossed back over into the realm of Musical Theater, performing a small role, as well as in the ensemble of the New York Philharmonic's production of My Fair Lady, with Kelsey Grammer and Kelli O'Hara. Later this summer, he will travel to North Shore Music Theatre for a musical production of Dumas' The Three Musketeers.

Adam's passion for the American song book, has led him to the world of cabaret as well. He made his New York cabaret debut two years ago in Maybe it Happens This Way upstairs at The Duplex with pianist Phillip Kirchmann. Arranging the cabaret together, Mr. Kirchmann and Adam selected music ranging from classical art song, to musical theater, taking the title of the cabaret from the opening lyric of Hoagy Carmichael's How Little We Know. Adam's most recent cabaret performance was in honor of Mabel Mercer with the Mabel Mercer Foundation, and he is currently writing a new show, to be performed this fall, directed by Eric-Michael Gilett. Also this fall, Adam will be featured in the Mercer foundation's Cabaret Convention at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater.
