David Miller
David Miller, born April 14, 1973, is an American tenor, member of the operatic pop musical quartet Il Divo. David is one of the most recognized and successful young American singers in the world. He was born in San Diego but grew up in Littleton, Colorado and was a graduate of Heritage High School in 1991. Even at school he participated in musicals, starring as the Rooster in Annie and Noah in Two by Two. Later he graduated from Oberlin Conservatory with degrees in Vocal Performance and Opera Theatre with excellent grades, thus ending his father’s dream that he would have a career in the military. He has worked with the top American opera companies on several roles, including Des Grieux in Manon, Romeo in Romeo et Juliette, Werther, Alfredo in La Traviata and Tamino in The Magic Flute with the Pacific Opera. On May 6, 1998 he performed, along with other opera singers, for President Bill Clinton in the White House. In 1999, he appeared with the Los Angeles Opera at the prestigious Teatro Municipal de Santiago (Chile) singing Tybalt in Bellini’s production of Capulets and Montagues in the "Fiesta de Savonlinna." In 2000, he made his debut, with good critical reviews and much success, with the Australian Opera at La Scala in Milan, singing Tony in West Side Story. Miller made his debut in the Flemish opera as Cassio in 2001 and 2002. In addition he performed as Trieste in Daniel Oren’s Manon. In the USA, he participated in The Tales of Hoffman in Hartford, Connecticut. He also interpreted the role of Percy in Donizetti’s Anne Bolene in Pittsburgh with John Mauceri during 2000/2001. During the 2002/2003 season he performed in the world premiere of the opera of Marco Tuttino Vita at La Scala. His best work to date is considered to be his role as Rodolfo in Baz Luhrmann’s 2002 version of Puccini’s La Boheme. This theatrical spectacle modernized the opera, in an effort to lure young audiences to Broadway. Luhrmann staged a grand show as he did with Moulin Rouge! and his Romeo et Juliette. La Boheme premiered in Sydney, Australia but David wasn’t included in the cast until it went to New York. Other roles he has undertaken have included Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Belmonte in Abduction from the Seraglio and Tom Rakewell in The Rake’s Progress. In December of 2003, he became a member of the international musical quartet Il Divo along with Urs Bühler (Switzerland), Sébastien Izambard (France), and Carlos Marín (Spain).Information Thanks To Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Miller_%28singer%29
