Luke N. — Singing Teacher — Garden District, Toronto

Canadian Bass-Baritone Luke Noftall is a recent graduate of the University of Toronto with a Master’s of Music in Opera Performance, as well as a Bachelor of Voice Performance with Honors from the same institution. He currently studies with Wendy Nielsen. While at the University of Toronto’s Opera school, Luke has been seen as: Mr. Choufleuri in Monsieur Choufleuri, Dr. Bartolo in Il barbiere di Sviliglia , Top in Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land, Jacques I in A Tale of Two Cities, and the Chorus of Antiquity in a Canadian premiered student composition of Disobedience. Additional credits include Lancelot in Camelot (Red Panda Productions), and Papageno in Die Zauberflöte (Halifax Summer Opera Festival). As Papageno, Luke was described as a “Star of the Festival. Playful and mercurial, his warm baritone and dynamic interpretation complimented and contrasted effortlessly with his more earnest Tamino” (Opera Canada). This past summer, Luke took part in the prestigious Opera in the 21st Century Program at the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity. In Banff, Luke played the role of Masetto in Don Giovanni, as well as Morris in a workshop of a new opera Adoration by Mary Kouyoumdjian and Royce Vavrek, which is set to premiere in New York City early next year.
