peter & jessica

The dynamic trio of Peter Bass, Jessica Lane, and Erika Reiman will be performing a Dramatic Opera set.

Peter is a singer with theatrical nuance and honesty, alongside with intensity and power, he has created beautiful realizations of many operatic roles such as Alberich in Wagner’s Das Rheingold, Il Conte in Le nozze di Figaro, Friedrich in Lohengrin, Pizzaro in Fidelio, Tonio in Pagliacci, and a bunch of other stuff!

Jessica on the other hand is an internationally award-winning soprano who is as inspiring to watch as she is to listen. She is also a two-time consecutive prize winner from the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and the first place winner of the Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg International Competition.

Erika is the author of Schumann’s Piano Cycles and the Novels of Jean-Paul, published in 2004 by the University of Rochester Press. At present, she is the pianist for the new Hamilton chamber ensemble Wild Geese, accompanist for Chorus Hamilton, and both the Mixed and Women’s Choruses at Brock University. For five seasons, she served as head coach and administrator for BrottOpera in Hamilton. She also maintains a home studio for pianists of all ages and vocal accompanying and coaching!
