Dominic Armstrong is a tenor on the rise. A graduate of both The Curtis Institute and The Juilliard School, Mr. Armstrong has performed a vast range of operas in many styles. From the early music of Monteverdi and Cavalli, to the contemporary works of Argento, Britten and Corigliano, to the standards of Mozart, Donizetti, and Puccini, and even the musical theatre of Bernstein and Loesser, Dominic has continued to successfully prove his vocal versatility.
Mr. Armstrong has performed with The Opera Company of Philadelphia, The Wexford Festival, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Opera Regio Torino, Opera Theatre St. Louis, Lorin Maazel's Castleton Festival, and The Wolf Trap Opera as a member  of the Filene Young Artists. He has also been seen in concert with the Kansas City Symphony, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Chautauqua Youth Orchestra, the Curtis Orchestra, the University of Missouri Orchestra, and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, as a Grand Finalist in the 2008 National Council Auditions

As comfortable in art song as he is in opera, Mr. Armstrong has performed many recitals in a variety of venues, including as a member of the Steans Institute with the Ravinia Festival, and as a guest recitalist for Opera Theatre of St. Louis, NATS Midwest Region, and the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., where he also recently appeared in recital with pianist Steven Blier.  He has also appeared in art song masterclasses with tenor Matthew Polenzani, director Frank Corsaro (as a participant in Marilyn Horne's The Song Continues... series) and recently participated in a masterclass series with baritone Roberto de Candia in Treviso, Italy.                                        

In addition to being named a Grand Finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, Mr. Armstrong has also won prizes from The Sullivan Foundation, the Opera Index Competition, George London Scholarship Competition, the SAI Vocal Competition, NATS Regional and District Competitons, and was the first two-time winner of Truman State University's Gold Medal Aria Competition. Most recently, Mr. Armstrong won first prize in the Liederkranz Art Song Division, and the William Boldyga & Betty Myers Incentive Award in the Annapolis Opera Competition.

In the 2009/10 season, Mr. Armstrong made his European debuts with the Wexford Opera Festival, as well as Deutsche Oper Berlin and Opera Regio in Torino, Italy, the latter houses as a member of The Opera Foundation.  In the Fall of 2010, Mr. Armstrong will make his debut with New York City Opera in the New York premiere of Leonard Bernstein's rarely seen opera, A Quiet Place.
