Since making his debut with the Arizona
Opera in 1979, David Majoros has been consistently commended
by critics for his exceptionally beautiful, versatile voice
and his dramatic artistry in performance. “Opera News” praised
his “beautiful baritone, passionate musicality and
charismatic acting” as Belcore in Donizetti’s “L’Elisir
D’Amore” with the Arizona Opera, while the “Tucson
Citizen” pointed out his “big, flawless voice
and impeccable dramatic instincts’ in his warm portrayal
of Sharpless in Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly.” He
has also appeared with Wolf Trap Opera, on tour with the
Minnesota Opera, Verismo Opera, New Rochelle Opera, Taconic
Opera, and Regina Opera, starring in such leading roles as
Scarpia in Puccini’s “Tosca,” the title
role in Verdi’s “Rigoletto,” Figaro in
Rossini’s “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,” the
Count in Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro,” Tonio
in Leoncavallo’s “I Pagliacci,” Horace
Tabor in Moore’s “The Ballad of Baby Doe,” and
the Toreador in Bizet’s “Carmen.”
In addition to his operatic career Mr. Majoros
has performed with the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Detroit Symphony,
the Eastman-Rochester Philharmonic, the Tucson Symphony,
the Long Island Philharmonic, and as a recitalist/soloist
at the Chautauqua, Flagstaff, and Bravo! Colorado summer
music festivals.
In the summer of 2002 he added Shakespeare
to his extensive list of stage experiences, as he performed
the role of Corin in “As You Like It” for a NYC
Shakespeare in Central Park Equity Showcase Production.
