Frantz De Rycke, Bass

Benoit / Alcindoro

Simone , Gianni Schicchi - 2023

Frantz started to learn music (piano) at age 5 with Maestro Mantia, Director of the Conservatorio di Musica di Roma. His passion for Lyric Opera logically led him to singing.  He has sung with Vancouver Opera, Burnaby Lyric Opera, Opera Mariposa, Heroic Opera, North Shore Light Opera Society and Opera Pro Cantanti. While living in Paris, he performed with opera companies such as Choeurs Symphoniques de Paris, Allegro Assai and Operacademy.  He has performed a number of lead roles: Zaccaria (Nabucco), Oroveso (Norma), Sarastro (Magic Flute) and Banco (MacBeth) but his favourite is still Sparafucile in Rigoletto.

He is very excited to perform for the first time both Benoit and Alcindoro with BLO tonight.
