Ernesto Ramírez

Roberto Devereux, Earl of Essex

Mexican tenor Ernesto Ramírez is garnering rave reviews for his distinctive Italianate sound, “wonderfully fluid line and brilliant high notes,” combined with his “suave, nuanced lyricism.” Ernesto debuted as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly with Mexico’s Opera de Leon, Rodolfo in La bohème with Pacific Northwest Opera, and sang his first Don Jose with Opera Kelowna’s Carmen and in concert with Kitchener- Waterloo Symphony.

In 2022, Ernesto stars as Don José in concert performances of Carmen with Orchestre Classique de Montréal, and debuts as Ralph Rackstraw with Vancouver Opera in their updated production of HMS Pinafore, conducted by Rosemary Thomson and recently performed the lead role of Roberto in Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux with Calgary Concert Opera Company and Opera by Request.
