Five Star Dinner Theatre to host vocal powerhouse George Dyer
The Five Star Dinner Theatre is gearing up for its pre- Christmas holiday season schedule of outstanding entertainment, and Executive Manager/ Producer Tom Wilkins has once again aligned some of the top talent to ever perform during the theater’s 29- year history, according to a news release.
One of the world’s greatest tenors, George Dyer, will kick off the fall season at 7 p. m. Aug. 21 and 22 on the Five Star stage, located at 701 Central Ave. Dyer is an award- winning singer whose voice has been compared with Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli. He has been supported by several incredible concert symphonies around the globe, in locations from Jerusalem to Estonia.
Soaring onto the operatic scene in 1996, he made his professional debut to rave reviews with the New York City Opera as Ralph Rackstraw in “H. M. S. Pinafore” at Lincoln Center. He has performed extensively to wide acclaim in prestigious opera houses and concert halls across North America and in countries throughout the world.
Dyer has been a guest soloist with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on numerous occasions, including a 2005 worldwide broadcast to some 63 countries, translated in more than 75 languages. He has been a district finalist in the Metropolitan Opera auditions and a national finalist in the San Francisco Opera’s Merola Program auditions.
Reviewers, announcers and fans alike regularly mention his handsome good looks, and his beautiful lyric tenor voice is frequently described as “powerful,” “rich,” “clear,” “silken,” and “gorgeous,” with soaring high notes. Audiences are professed to find him “maddeningly charming.”
His operatic prowess notwithstanding, Dyer is a gifted performer of musical theater. He has enchanted countless audiences in the United States and Europe, with solo concerts featuring a delightful mix of opera and Broadway favorites. Those who love listening to Michael Bublé or Mario Lanza are sure to delight in a George Dyer performance.
Tickets are now on sale for the two 7 p. m. shows, with optional buffet service at 6 p. m. each night. Prices are $ 27.50 for the show only, and to add dinner catered by The Porterhouse, the cost is $ 39.95.
