Felix Aguilar Tomlinson is a Mexican-American lyric tenor from Minneapolis, MN. Felix has performed extensively in Boston, New York, and Minnesota, tackling dramatically-demanding roles with a signature sweetness, authenticity, and charisma. He completed his BM in Voice Performance and GPD in Opera Performance at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. He has lived the past two years in central New York, spending two summers as an Apprentice Artist with Chautauqua Opera, and two seasons as a Resident Artist with Tri-Cities Opera.
