Born in Melbourne, Adrian Dwyer studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the National Opera Studio, London. He made his professional debut as Rodolfo in Baz Luhrmann’s La Bohème in Los Angeles, winning an LA Stage Alliance Award for Outstanding Performance. Since then his roles have included Macduff Macbeth, Almaviva Barbiere di Siviglia and Miroslav/Harpist Excursions of Mr Broucek for Scottish Opera, Arturo Lucia di Lammermoor, Grailknight Parsifal, and SS Officer in Weinberg’s The Passenger for English National Opera, Cherevin/Young Prisoner From the House of the Dead, Miroslav/Harpist Broucek and Robert Skin Deep for Opera North, Alfredo La Traviata and Almaviva for Opera Queensland, Rodolfo La Boheme (Cape Town Opera, Royal Albert Hall), Sam Street Scene (Opera de Toulon) and Ismaele Nabucco for the State Opera of South Australia.
On the concert stage he has appeared in a vast array of repertoire at the Opera Comique (Paris), the Prince Regent Theatre (Munich), the Edinburgh International Festival, the Royal Albert Hall and all of the major UK concert venues with eminent conductors such as Christoph Eschenbach, Richard Bonynge, Jane Glover, Marc Soustrot, David Parry, Ulf Schirmer and Oleg Caetani.
In the past season he garnered huge critical praise for his role debut as Hagenbach La Wally for Opera Holland Park and as Edgar in the world premiere of Goehr’s Promised End in the Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House Covent Garden. Future highlights include return engagements with Opera North, the Edinburgh Festival and the Bayerische Rundfunk Orchester.

Hagenbach (Catalani’s La Wally), Opera Holland Park,
August 2011Adrian Dwyer tackled the stratospheric tenor role – a veritable Matterhorn in itself – with heroic stamina
The Times, R. MorrisonAs her love-object, Hagenbach is more complex – taking the idea of hurting those we love the most to extremes. Adrian Dwyer conveyed conflicted cruelty with considerable panache, and his lyrical tenor made its mark in the role’s high tessitura.
Classical Source, P. ReedAdrian Dwyer convinces as the feckless Hagenbach
The Telegraph, R. ChristiansenAdrian Dwyer is a redoubtable Hagenbach
The Stage, G. HallThere’s great support too from Adrian as the swaggering huntsman tenor
Bloomberg.com, W. ThompsonI thought Adrian Dwyer might be too light of voice for this role… however, he gave a decent account… rising to the ardour of the final scene well, his tenor ringing through the mountains
Opera Britannia.com, M. PullingerTenor Adrian Dwyer is pleasant as the caddish Hagenbach
Whatsonstage.com, S. ThomasThere’s fine support from tenor Adrian Dwyer (Hagenbach)
Metro, W. ThompsonAdrian Dwyer’s Hagenbach commanded all the arrogant swagger the character demands

Promised End, Linbury Theatre,
Royal Opera House...with the best singing coming from Adrian Dwyer as Edgar
Daily Telegraph, Rupert ChristiansenHis good son Edgar was cleanly sung… and well acted by Adrian Dwyer
Opera, Andrew PorterEdgar, who was movingly portrayed by Adrian Dwyer, especially in his feigned madness, his youthful tenor well contrasted with that of Gloucester
Opera Britannia, Mark PullingerAs Edgar, Adrian Dwyer is convincing and impressive
operatoday.com, Claire SeymourAdrian Dwyer sang a lyrical and honey-toned Edgar
repeatperformances.org, Jaimie RoblesThe performances themselves are all first class, both dramatically and vocally – a rare thing indeed in the operatic world... I would particularly single out Adrian Dwyer as Edgar
wheresrunnicles.com, Finn PollardAdrian Dwyer portrayed with touching acuity the transformation of Edgar into Poor Tom
Boulezian, Mark BerryDwyer was the most incisive in getting the words over
dilettantemusic.com, Robert HugillEdgar and Gloucester (Adrian Dwyer and Nigel Robson) trace a simple and genuinely touching path through
London Evening Standard, K. QuirkeAdrian Dwyer had a bright, easy tenor sound that spoke of his essential goodness
