Most of today’s outstanding artists started young; Stanley Wilson is no exception. He started at age six, singing “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” at a Christmas party, and became very serious as a young man. He received his Master of Music from the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts in Opera Performance and continues to learn by keeping up his studies with Douglas Kevin Wilson. Mr. Wilson has amassed an extensive list of opera credits which includes productions with the Commonwealth Opera, Bel Canto Music Festival of New Hampshire, the New England Opera Theatre, and the production of Dona Francisquita at the Jarvis Conservatory in Napa, California. A finalist in the 2002 Boston Region of the NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) Competition, Mr. Wilson has taken his outstanding voice to Solfest, a festival sponsored by the Key West Symphony Orchestra, in which he assisted Maestra Donna Roll in preparing young, school-age singers to participate in fifteen performances of opera scenes supporting the roles of the adult soloists. Working with top-rated New York City conductors, pianists, coaches, and voice teachers, he recently completed Intermezzo, a month-long opera festival under the direction of Maestro Steven Osgood where he sang the principal roles, Laurie in Little Women, and Tanzmeister in Ariadne auf Naxos. He has also assisted the Provincetown Repertory Theater in their productions of The Trip to Bountiful with their tour of New York City.
