Edmonton’s John Tessier is the tenor lead in a part that requires a very high tenor who can float the top notes with apparent ease but also project into a large auditorium. In these vocal requirements, there are few tenors better than John Tessier, whose voice can effortlessly sit in a vocal range that for most tenors is effortful. He is the perfect Rossini-Donizetti tenor. On home turf for him, vocally speaking, Tessier delivered all that there is in the role, including the wonderful ballad scene.
