Ryne Cherry

Praised for his “gripping performances” by The New York Times, baritone Ryne Cherry commands the stage in repertoire ranging from opera and musical theatre to new music, oratorio, and everything in between. Recent opera roles include Dandini in Rossini’s Cenerentola (Boston Midsummer Opera), Don Pablo in the workshop premiere of Omar Najmi’s En la ardiente oscuridad, Matt of the Mint in The Beggar’s Opera (Emmanuel Music), Filch/Ed/Beggar/Police Chief Smith in The Threepenny Opera (Boston Lyric Opera), Altair in the Boston premiere of Strauss’s Die Ägyptische Helena and Valère in Le médecin malgré lui (Odyssey Opera), Second Prisoner in Fidelio with Boston Baroque, and Sam in A Quiet Place with the BSO’s Tanglewood Music Festival. Ryne recently sang as one of seven finalists in the 7th Annual Handel Aria Competition, selected from over 100 singers internationally.

On the concert stage, he has appeared with Nashoba Valley Chorale in Faure’s Requiem, Symphony Pro Musica in Dvořák’s Te Deum and Orff’s Carmina Burana, Tufts University in Mozart’s Mass in C Minor, and Back Bay Chorale in Beethoven’s Mass in C and Mendelssohn’s Die erste Walpurgisnacht, and others. An advocate of new music, Ryne has also premiered works by living composers, including Dominick DiOrio, James Kallembach, and Robert Kyr. As a member of Boston’s most prestigious professional ensembles, Ryne appears regularly with The Boston Lyric Opera, Odyssey Opera, Handel and Haydn Society, Emmanuel Music, and White Snake Projects.
