George Dyer soared onto the operatic scene in 1996, making his professional debut to rave reviews with the New York City Opera as Ralph Rackstraw in H.M.S. Pinafore at the Lincoln Center in New York City (pictured here in Utah Opera's H.M.S. Pinafore.) He has performed extensively to wide acclaim in prestigious opera houses and concert halls across North America and in many countries throughout the world. (see resumé)
Mr. Dyer has been a guest soloist with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on numerous occasions, including a 2005 worldwide broadcast to over 63 countries, translated in over 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 (see gallery), and his beautiful lyric tenor voice is frequently described as "powerful", "rich", "clear", "silken" and "gorgeous", with "soaring" high notes; audiences often find him "maddeningly charming". (see reviews)
His operatic prowess notwithstanding, Mr. Dyer is a gifted performer of musical theater; he has enchanted countless audiences in the United States and Europe with solo concerts that feature a delightful mix of opera and Broadway favorites.
In December of 2009, Mr. Dyer was inducted into the Salem Alumni Hall of Fame.

Mr. Dyer has performed extensively in the United States, and particularly in his resident state of Utah, including several appearances as tenor soloist in performances of Handel's "Messiah", a program of works by Rogers and Hammerstein with the Utah Symphony, Bach's "Magnificat" for the Utah Chamber Artists, Misael in Britten's "The Burning Fiery Furnace", excerpts from "Dreamkeepers" for Utah Opera, and Rodolfo in "La Boheme" at Southern Utah University.
He has performed numerous leading tenor roles with Utah Opera and is a graduate of the Utah Opera Young Artists Program, with whom he performed leading roles in Haydn's "La Cantarina" and Menotti's "Amelia Goes to the Ball". He also participates in Utah Opera's "Opera-in-the-Schools".
He has toured as a featured soloist with composers Kurt Bestor and Lex de Azevedo, performing throughout the United States, in Europe and in Israel. Other engagements include a solo recital for the Temple Square Concert Series in Salt Lake City, tenor soloist with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for the world premiere of Manooken's "Lazarus", as the Innkeeper in Michael McLean's "Forgotten Carols", and with Ballet West for their production of Orff's "Carmina Burana" and Stavinsky's "Pulcinella".

Mr. Dyer filmed two live made-for-TV concerts in Jerusalem for acclaimed composer Lex de Azevedo's Oratorios entitled "Gloria: The Life of Christ-part 1" and "Hosanna: The Life of Christ-part 3". He made his film acting debut in 2006 in two Lightstone Studios musicals in the "Liken the Scriptures" video series: as King Darius in "Daniel and the Lions" and as the wicked Chancellor Nimrod and the heartless Superintendent Dormin in "Samuel the Lamanite" (he relishes playing "a really good bad guy"!) broadcast worldwide on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) and BYU TV, respectively. In 2007, he was named Vice President of Lightstone Records, a position designed to work in concert with his performing and recording schedules. (see cds and films)
