Album Notes

Peter McCutcheon is one of Canada's finest lyric tenors. He began his musical career as the protégé of internationally acclaimed tenor Ben Heppner and is a student renowned Canadian tenor Mark Dubois. Cast as Jinx by Stuart Ross in the original Toronto production of Forever Plaid, McCutcheon won critical acclaim onstage and played the role a total of 976 times. He went on to play Raoul in the Phantom of the Opera, Livent, Toronto; John Raid Jr. in the world premiere production Jane Eyre, Mirvish Productions, Toronto; and Charlie Dalrymple in Brigadoon, Village Light Opera, New York.

Comfortable singing Scottish, opera, classical and popular music, McCutcheon's singing style has garnered comparisons to Josh Groban and John McDermott. His voice, however, is uniquely his own, and he has been recognized for his subtle and feeling approach to singing the tender emotional content of an earlier era. (WholeNote Magazine).
