GERALD SEMINATORE, Tenor

Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. To keep things simple, there is only one page here.

I am classically trained professional singer in opera, oratorio, and concert work. After studying at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and receiving the Doctor of Musical Arts degree, I am grateful to have been able to craft a career of performance and teaching in both the United States and in Europe.

My current home base is Southern California, where I teach classical and musical theater singing and musicianship at local universities, as well as performance workshops. Singing performance work occurs both onstage and in choral settings.

In 2011 I began my association with La Mirada Vocal Arts, a newly formed non-profit organization for singers emerging from academic programs  in Southern California.

Visit one or more of the links below for more detailed information.

Occasionally, I puzzle out ideas related to singing, performance, and other topics at my weblog. I am currently on hiatus from blogging, though I may resume that activity at some future time. Some evidence of past activity may be found at:
