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.
