Bringing forty years of experience in the performing arts to the table as professional
opera singer, voice teacher and stage director, Garry Grice is the artistic director and
founder of Pennsylvania Lyric Opera Theater. He has sung over 50 leading operatic
tenor roles in such distinguished houses as New York City Opera, Milwaukeee Florentine,
The Bavarian State Opera among many others in the US, Canada and German speaking
Europe.
During the 90's, Mr. Grice created Indiana Opera North, the company which launched the
careers of several singers, currently performing around the world. Upon relocating to
northeastern PA, he again began to lay the groundwork for a professional opera
company in the Poconos. He produced and directed three very successful professional
productions in conjunction with the Shawnee Playhouse, Cosi fan tutte, La Boheme and
The Marriage of Figaro.
Then, in 2006, he created a summer young artist program and created the name
Pennsylvania Lyric Opera Theater. This program produced Gilbert and Sullivan's
Gondoliers, Die Fledermaus and next season will return to Gilbert and Sullivan with The
Mikado. This program is open to all undergraduate and graduate age singers and has
received rave reviews.
This season, will mark the beginning of the professional arm of PLOT. Using
professional artists located in the Poconos and nearby states, PLOT will serve both
western and eastern Pocono Mountains with performances in East Stroudsburg at the
new state of the art auditorium of Notre Dame High School, and in Luzerne county at the
hall the Grices have restored in their home, a nineteenth century Victorian bar.
Future plans are to expand the season to include Amahl & The Night Visitors, a winter
concert opera, a summer full production and in the near future an opera on tour. This
season kicks off with two fund raisers Amahl and the Night Visitors, in which Garry sang
the role of Kaspar to celebrate his fortieth year, and an opera concert in March.
