About Geoffrey
Praised for his “clarion tone” (Ludwig van Toronto) and “impressive vocal colour” (Opera Canada), Canadian-American baritone Geoffrey Schellenberg is a professional opera singer and voice instructor. On professional stages, he has been recognized for the roles of Figaro (Il barbiere di Siviglia), Marcello (La bohème), Belcore (L’elisir d’amore), and Papageno (Die Zauberflöte). He has recently been seen in productions with Opéra de Montreal, Vancouver Opera, Pacific Opera Victoria, Portland Opera, and Calgary Opera.
Additionally, he has sung as a soloist in numerous oratorio concerts, including A Sea Symphony and Requiem (Fauré) with the Vancouver Bach Choir, Messiah (Handel) with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra, and Des Knaben Wunderhorn with l’Orchestre de l’Agora and Mississippi Valley Orchestra.
Geoffrey furthered his vocal training in a number of apprenticeships including the Atelier lyrique de l’Opéra de Montréal (2020-2022), Portland Opera Resident Artist Program (2018–2020), Calgary Opera Emerging Artist Development Program (2017–2018), and Music Academy of the West (2017). He holds a master’s degree and a bachelor’s degree from the University of British Columbia in opera performance, while simultaneously completing international vocal development programs including the European Music Academy (Teplice, Czech Republic), the Centre for Opera Studies in Italy (Sulmona, Italy), and Accademia Europea dell’Opera (Lucca, Italy).
Geoffrey’s continued dedication to the study of music has also inspired a passion for teaching, which has led him to work as a private voice instructor for the past ten years, where he imparts his knowledge of technique to strengthen and enhance aspiring singers in all sorts of repertoire. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts at Université de Montréal.
