Gary Lehman
Gary Lehman is an American operatic tenor, specialising in the Heldentenor repertoire.
He initially trained as a baritone at Youngstown State University, continued his studies at Indiana University, and as a member of the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists gave 90 performances with the Lyric Opera of Chicago. In 1995, he sang the lead tenor role of Herman in "The Queen of Spades". From the 1990s into the next decade he sang baritone roles such as the Count in "The Marriage of Figaro" and
it was announced that Lehman would sing Siegfried in both "Siegfried" in October 2011 and "Götterdämmerung" in January 2012. In turn, Lehman himself had to drop out, citing illness, and both Siegfried roles were sung by his understudy, Jay Hunter Morris.
Lehmann's appearances in 2013 included the Drum Major in "Wozzeck" at the Vienna State Opera.
