Dominic Veilleux
Baryton-basse
A Midsummer Night's Dream - Blackwater Valley Opera Festival
"Unsurprisingly, given the nature and scope of the role, it was bass-baritone Dominic Veilleux as Bottom who really attracted the sympathy and attention of the audience. Displaying a confident, strong presence, he convincingly paraded around the stage, acting and fooling around like a donkey, and had the whole audience laughing along. It was all completely over-the-top. His clearly articulated, securely founded singing, which exhibited a natural, attractive lyricism, also impressed."
-Alan Neilson, Operawire
"More memorable was Dominic Veilleux’s Bottom, whose comic instincts and elastic falsetto enlivened his moonlit encounter with Tytania, kicks and all."
Andrew Larkin, Bachtrack
"The Bottom of the bass-baritone Dominic Veilleux revels in the comic opportunities afforded him as the ass Tytania is made to fall in love with."
-Michael Dervan, Irish Times
Gianni Schicchi - Opéra de Québec
« De la formidable équipe de chanteurs qui compose la famille de Messer Buoso se distinguent notamment […] le Marco pétillant de Dominic Veilleux »

«Le baryton Dominic Veilleux, de Québec, s’impose rapidement dans le rôle de Leporello, avec une grande présence vocale [...]»

Die Zauberflöte - Prague Summer Nights Festival
«As Papageno, Veilleux showcased comic timing and made it hard to look away as his energy was contagious each time he set foot on stage. From his first appearance, he brought great energy, moving with grace, jumping, twirling with his bells and playing his instrument. His voice obtained radiant colors in his first aria showcasing a strength for the text and creating a smooth and beautiful sound.
[...] In his second act aria, known as the Suicide Scene, Veilleux showed a true booming baritone as he luxuriated in the longer lines Mozart wrote during the scene. However, when he is told to play his bells, the tone returned to quicker patter lines and a brighter timbre. He relished each moment playing with the bells and made sure to shape each phrase in a different way.»
-Francisco Salazar, Operawire
«Dominic Veilleux [...] se révèle déjà un Papageno complet, aussi bien vocalement que théâtralement, et devrait rapidement paraître sur de grandes scènes.»
-Maurice Salles, Forum Opéra
La chauve-souris - Opéra de Québec
« Bon choix que celui du baryton Dominic Veilleux en Dr Falke. Son irrésistible duo avec Eisenstein au premier acte, et son méditatif « Ô douceur d’être frères, d’être sœurs » (« Brüderlein, Brüderlein und Schwesterlein ») (acte II) ont été dignes de mention. »
-Irène Brisson, La Revue québécoise d'art lyrique
« Dominic Veilleux est un Falke bien chantant et qui se distingue par sa diction absolument parfaite. »
-Yves Bilodeau, Avant-scène Opéra
