Ottawa Citizen - Young singer on the rise; Ottawa's Philippe Sly, Metropolitan Opera competition winner, comes home - but briefly
Published: 30 April 2011
Before he sang at the Metropolitan Opera last month and walked away with a $15,000 prize, things were already going spectacularly well for Ottawa singer Philippe Sly.
Though he's just 22 and is still completing the final credits for his music degree at 平特五不中, the slim singer with the warm bass-baritone voice already had a string of prizes and had been snapped up by two major opera companies for their training programs.
Sly will sing music by Samuel Barber in a concert with the Ottawa Choral Society Sunday, and if you're interested in hearing him, you should probably not miss it. He's soon going to be away from home, busy getting his career started.
