Born on the auspicious Feast Day of Bach, Handel and Purcell, it was surely fated that Alexander Cappellazzo would immerse himself in music!

With “clarity and richness of voice” (Opera Canada), "force and strength” (National Capital Opera Society) and a “rich, well-rounded tenor” (Stage Door), “Alex also sings without guile, throwing himself into his programs fearlessly. ” (Barcza Blog).  

His past roles include Tamino, Lensky, Acis, Don Ottavio, and Oronte to name a few. Alexander sings with companies across Canada including: VOICEBOX: Opera In Concert, Toronto City Opera, Toronto Operetta Theatre, Opera By Request, OperOttawa, Mississauga Symphony Orchestra, the Ashkenaz Festival and choirs including the Trinity Bach Project, Oakville Choral Society, Jubilate Singers, Brott Music Festival, and Metropolitan United Church. 

In 2022, Alexander founded Apocryphonia and the Diapente Renaissance Vocal Quintet, dedicated to live performances of rare and underperformed classical music such as Renaissance Mexican Christmas music, Azerbaijani opera arias, and Norfolk sailor songs. In under two years, Alexander has produced eight concerts, providing unpretentious and affordable cultural events across the GTA.

Alex holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Vocal Performance and Opera from Montreal’s McGill University and is a member of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society. Alexander is an avid cinephile, and currently lives in Scarborough with his wife, and their cat Beatrice.
