Paul Wiens, Baritone
Paul has lived in Manitoba his whole life, and has
completed two degrees in Business and Music from
the University of Manitoba. He is very excited to be
returning to the Little Opera Company for his third
production as Guglielmo in Così Fan Tutte. His
previous endeavours with Little Opera Company
include Bob (Old Maid and the Thief), The Poet
(Prima la musica, Poi la parole).
This past year Paul made his professional debut as
the Old Gypsy in Verdi’s Il Trovatore in 2008 with
Manitoba Opera, which was a highlight for him. He
has worked with them before as well, being a soloist
in one of their Opera Gala’s and rehearsal stand in
for the title role in Rigoletto, as well as being in their
opera chorus for many operas. His endeavours out
of Manitoba have led him to Edmonton and Calgary
which included recital and opera work, including last
summer’s highlight of performing the title role in
Gianni Schicchi with Opera Nuova.
