Dylan F. Thomas recently returned from teaching as guest lecturer and stage director at Yale University, where he staged the Opera Scenes and taught his unique acting method, The Dressler Technique, in "Acting for Opera". Mr. Thomas was named Opera Program Manager for the GRAMMY-winning National Children's Chorus's youth opera program, National Youth Opera Academy (formerly Vail Opera Camp) where he teaches acting and co-directs the fully-staged operas during the summer opera camp. Superstar baritone Quinn Kelsey, a faovirte leading baritone at the Metropolitan Opera, says the Thomas "utilized his own intuitive twists on the storyline of certain pieces to give me as a singer a different perspective of my interpretation". Kelsey says that Thomas' unique new production and staging concepts "...could prove quite useful in bringing more and more audiences back to the opera. Mr. Thomas' insight just seems to me to be a very healthy way to reenergize opera productions." As a singer/actor himself, Thomas has performed all over the world in many different musical genres, including opera, musical theater, jazz, pop, and classic rock. He spent 11 months performing in several different productions for Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan, singing for tens of thousands of people every day. At Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre, Thomas had the honor of performing for legendary musical theater lyricist and songwriter Sheldon Harnick in two of Harnick's musicals: the rarely seen Rex, and the iconic Fiddler on the Roof, a musical Thomas will direct and star in with VOPA this June.
