About Lester Lynch:

Lester Lynch is an American operatic baritone.

Lynch learned to sing in a church choir, and attended Baldwin-Wallace College, the New England Conservatory of Music, and Juilliard.

Lynch has performed as a baritone, Crown, in The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess as well as a bass, Garage mechanic, in The Great Gatsby's first European performance on December 6, 2015. He reprised the role in 2020.

Lynch participated in the 1996 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. He has performed with Luna Pearl Woolf. He has sung at the Festival Napa Valley, and in Bergen, Norway.

The Welsh National Opera gave The Merchant of Venice its British premiere in Cardiff on 16 September 2016, using the Bregenz production. The conductor was Lionel Friend, and the role of Shylock was sung by Lynch. Lynch is an African American and this in the opinion of the critic of The Guardian gave the opera "a further racist edge... a deliberately shocking contemporary resonance."
