GARY ALDRICH, bass-baritone / basso cantante, is equally at home in concert, opera, oratorio, cabaret, pop/jazz, and musical theater.  Critics have remarked that "diversity is the benchmark of Aldrich's career" and given the extraordinary variety of his volume of work, that comment is appropriate.  A consummate cross-over singer, he moved from New York to Nevada in 2000 to teach voice at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he taught until 2014 while still maintaining an active singing and teaching career. He now maintains his own vocal studios in Reno, the Gary Aldrich Vocal Arts Studio. He is also a founding director of UNR’s Lyric Opera Theatre.

 

A native New Yorker, Aldrich holds undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in theatre and voice performance from UAlbany. He continued his training as a member of the Metropolitan Opera Studio and for ten years performed and taught as a Teacher-Artist at New York’s Empire State Institute for the Performing Arts. He has recently also expanded his musical endeavors into music directing and conducting. Recently, he was music director and conductor for UNR’s hit production of ANYTHING GOES, and TMCC’s GUYS AND DOLLS and BYE BYE BIRDIE for the Sierra School for the Performing Arts. In August 2018, he made his New York cabaret debut at the prestigious Feinstein's 54 BELOW.

 

He is founder, artistic and general director of the Sierra Lyric Opera Studio and the Gary Aldrich Vocal Arts Studio. He was elected to Who’s Who in America in 2006-the present, and is a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the national Musicians’ Fraternity.  He has been married to his husband, Ron Miller, for nearly 20 years.
