Described by Opera Canada magazine as possessing “a warm lower resonance [and] brilliant top end,” and by Le Devoir as “possessing true stage charisma”, Canadian baritone Danlie Rae is quickly making his mark in the operatic world.

Danlie Rae sang the roles of Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia, Gianni Schicchi, Dr. Falke in Die Fledermaus, Papageno in Die Zauberflöte and most recently had covered the role of Sharpless in Madama Butterfly to name a few. A distinguished graduate of the Faculty of Music’s Opera Program at the University of Toronto, Danlie is the recipient of many awards, including the Encouragement and Audience Choice awards given by the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition.

In concert settings, Danlie Rae appeared as a soloist for Orff’s Carmina Burana, Handel’s Messiah, Brahm’s Requiem, Mozart’s Requiem and Finzi’s In Terra Pax. In premiering new works, Danlie was involved in the premiere of Rebecca Gray’s Bus Opera, Matthew Ricket’s The Cremation of Sam Mcgee, and most recently Danlie helped premiere Renee Fajardo’s digital Filipino art song project Liham. Danlie performed recitals in the Philippines, Toronto, Vancouve and Montreal.
