Clayton Hilley

Tenor
(Don Jose)

Since his debut with Opera Western Reserve as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, tenor Clayton Hilley has been seen in opera companies from New York to the Rocky Mountains in a wide variety of operatic roles.

In November of 2008, he debuted with the Opera Studio of the Manhattan School of Music in the dramatic tenor role of Rodrigue in a scenes from Massanet's grand opera, Le Cid. Later in the spring with the MSM Opera Studio he sang the role of Alfred in Johann Strauss, Jr.'s comic masterpiece, Die Fledermaus.

Immediately after completing his studies at MSM, he sang the role of Froh in Wagner's Das Rheingold, a production of the Indanapolis Opera and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

Clayton then spent the remainder of the summer with Central City Opera as a resident Apprentice Artist. There he sang two roles: Aroldo, in Handel's Rinaldo; and Edgardo, in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor.

He now lives in Boston, MA where he is a resident Fellow in the Opera Institute at Boston University.
