Gabriel sang for my mother in law’s funeral. He has a beautiful deep, smooth & clear voice. The whole family was pleased with his performance. It made saying our farewell extra special.

Gabriel was very professional from the beginning, made accommodations as needed for our audience, he performed in our humble Nursing Care Facility, we had a special Italian Candlelight Dinner for our elderly residents, and they LOVED him! It was so special to have him perform for us, he was very interactive with the crowd, he dressed in a suit and our residents used their little binoculars to feel like they were at the opera! Even though our activity room is small and quaint, he gave a world-class, stage performance! You will have a wonderful event if you book him, our audience was very happy and we hope to book him again soon for future events :)
Gabriel was amazing! He was very communicative and offered many suggestions for my uncle's 80th birthday party from the start. He was funny and engaged the audience from the first song. His performance made our event and everyone could not stop talking about him. He's not only incredibly talented, but he has a wonderful personality, and we would not hesitate to hire him again for another event. He really made the birthday party a hit!

"During a challenging time, Gabriel's professionalism was a beacon of comfort. From the moment we booked him, he was proactive in communication, offering valuable suggestions and advice that eased our planning process. Gabriel's commitment to excellence was evident when he arrived an hour early at Saint Basil's, seamlessly setting up his sound system in coordination with the deacon, which significantly reduced our stress.
His performance was nothing short of remarkable. Gabriel's renditions of "The Road Rise Up to Meet You" and "Danny Boy" were not only flawlessly executed but also deeply moving, perfectly capturing the spirit of remembrance we desired to honor my father. These songs, performed with poignant emotion and skill, resonated with everyone present, earning high praise from our friends and family.
Gabriel's ability to blend his musical talent with a sense of empathy and understanding made a significant impact on the funeral mass. His voice added a layer of beauty and solace to our farewell to my father. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel to anyone in search of an exceptionally talented and professional singer whose performance can touch hearts and provide comfort in moments of grief."

My father who loved and studied Opera recently passed away and I asked Gabriel if he would be interested and available in helping my family fulfill our wish of honoring his life and memories with an intimate live Opera performance for us. My family and I (as well as all guests who attended) are still recovering and talking about from Gabriel’s absolutely epic performance. Gabriel’s performance of “Ave Maria”, “Una Furtiva Lagrima” and “Nessun Dorma” was nothing less than legendary and mesmerizing. The memories of his performance, professionalism, warmth and the kindness he showed to my grieving family (as well as driving all the way to our small Central California town a few hours from LA) will live with us for all of our lives. Having Gabriel perform for you feels like having an Opera legend give you your own private concert, an absolutely priceless experience demonstrated by the multiple Grammys he has won. It was a true privilege and honor having Gabriel perform for my family 🙏🏼. Thank you, from my family and on behalf of my father who would have personally commended you for gracing us with your gift. You were a true blessing to have at my father’s viewing!

Gabriel really entertained our guests for my husband's 80th birthday. He sang several arias and really delighted the birthday boy!! He is personable and I would definitely recommend him if you want a fun opera event for a party!

Wow what a treat! Gabriel performed at our Dad’s 90th Birthday celebration. It was epic and he touched every person with his charismatic personality and beautiful voice. The guest of honor was over the top happy. You will not be disappointed. Gabriel is a professional, effective communicator and a talent surely not to be missed. The experience exceeded our expectations! Thank you, Gabriel for making our celebration an event to remember.

Gabriel was phenomenal! I couldn't have asked for a better singer at my wedding. His voice is world class and he has a lot of charisma so the crowd loved him. He can do it all - opera, crooner, theatrical, spiritual. All the guests were asking about where we found him. Do yourself a favor and hire him. He will take your event to the next level and leave you with wonderful, musical memories.

About
Multiple Grammy Award winning baritone Gabriel Manro has
been called “a new kind of baritone: not lyric, not helden, not Kavalier,
not Bariton-Martin — none of those. Rather, he’s a knock-down
baritone.” --San Francisco Classical Voice. Indeed, Manro regularly
sings dramatic baritone roles such as Don Carlo di Vargas (La forza del
destino), Andrei Shchelkalov (Boris Godunov), and Tonio (I Pagliacci).
Opera News describes Manro as “Gifted with a striking, sinister
baritone that remains strong, even and sonorous throughout the
range, he tears into Verdi's music with a vengeance.” -- Opera News.
Mr. Manro made his professional operatic debut as Third Inmate
in Jake Heggie's ground-breaking opera Dead Man Walking for Opera
Pacific with Frederica von Stade. Manro has created roles in numerous
contemporary and world-premiere operas and musicals:
Muscovite Trader in John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles
(premiere audio recording-Pentatone Music: Grammy--Best Opera Recording), the Mousling in the Los
Angeles Philharmonic’s Alice in Wonderland by Unsuk Chin, the Computer in Los Angeles Opera’s The
Fly by film composer Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings Trilogy) directed by David Cronenberg; The
Chauffeur in Opera Santa Barbara’s Séance on a Wet Afternoon by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked,
Godspell); Angry Voter in Los Angeles Opera’s Il Postino (Sony Classical DVD); and the Commentator
in the Opera Las Vegas West Coast Premiere of Derrick Wang’s wildly popular Scalia/Ginsburg. Manro
created the role of President Lincoln in Golden Gate Opera's world-premiere Civil War Epic: Lincoln
and Booth. Off-Broadway, Mr. Manro led the original cast of Center for Contemporary Opera’s
production of Oration by Line Tjørnhøj. On television, Manro appeared as Joel Lynch and Father
Jackson in the European premiere live telecast of William Mayer’s: A Death in the Family at the
Hungarian National Theater and Opéra Grand D’Avignon which was voted “audience favorite” by TBS
Network viewers. Manro played Jafar in Walt Disney Company’s original stage production of Aladdin
directed by Francesca Zambello.
Mr. Manro made his European operatic debut as Doctor Bartolo (Il barbiere di Siviglia)
with Corfu Opera in Greece. His extensive repertoire and engagements have also included the roles of
Bluebeard (Bluebeard’s Castle), Count Almaviva, Bartolo, Antonio (Le nozze di Figaro), Guglielmo,
Don Alfonso (Cosí fan tutte), Don Giovanni (Don Giovanni), Die Sprecher, Papageno (Die
Zauberflöte), Belcore (L'elisir d'amore), Frédéric (Lakme), Enrico (Lucia di Lammermoor), Giorgio
Germont (La traviata), Schaunard, Coline, Marcello (La bohème), Valentin (Faust), Dandini, Alidoro
(La Cenerentola), Alfio (Cavalleria Rusticana), Escamillo (Carmen), Scarpia (Tosca), Don Pizarro
(Fidelio), and Superintendent Budd (Albert Herring). Equally at home in Musical Theater, he has
performed numerous roles including Curly (Oklahoma!), Tony (The Most Happy Fella), Abner (Li'l
Abner), Schroeder (You're a Good Man Charlie Brown), Lank Sanders (Girl Crazy), Mr. Brownlow
(Oliver!), Harrison Howell (Kiss Me Kate), the Governor (Man of La Mancha), and Emile de Becque
(South Pacific). See Mr. Manro next as Alfio in the Berliner Philharmonie’s production of Cavalleria
Rusticana this March 2023.
