The Canadian tenor/counter-tenor, Shane Hanson, holds a bachelor's degree in opera performance from the University of British Columbia (2013-2019). Through the guidance of Nancy Hermiston, Dale Throness, and Daniel Taylor, he continues to master his craft and find a deep passion for all forms of music.
Shane Hanson has performed with the Theatre of Early Music (Director: Daniel Taylor), Vancouver Bach Choir, Okanagan Symphony, UBC Opera Ensemble, Kamloops Symphony, Against the Grain Theatre, Chilliwack Symphony, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, Note Bene Baroque Ensemble and L'Harmonie des saisons (Director: Eric J. Milnes ). Most recent engagements include a J.S. Bach's Johannes-Passion BWV 245 with L'Harmonie des saisons directed by Eric J. Milnes, and a solo cantata concert with Note Bene directed by Howard Dyck.
Although he has mostly performed concert works, he is also very accomplished on the operatic stage. Notable roles include Benjamin Britten's Oberon, George Frideric Handel's Guilio Cesare, and Gluck's Orfeo. When off the stage, Shane enjoys discovering late eighteenth century opera arias and creating piano reductions of them to then record or perform. His most notable collection of reductions includes select alto arias of Anfossi, Jomelli, and Myslivecek. |
