At just 32 years old he has over 550 performances under his belt spanning a wide range of repertoire. The critiques are in agreement calling him, “the secret star of the evening…confident top…refreshingly agile…terrific and ideally cast,” as Pedrillo in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, “the audience favorite…deserving the highest praise,” for Boni in Csardasfürstin, “Becker’s voice shone bright and clear…exemplary betrayal and authoritative articulation,” as Kudrjas in Katya Kabanova, and “Cameron Becker deserves the greatest compliment…captivatingly empathetic…smooth and elastic voice…a true sound experience…perfect interpretation…bel-canto tenor sound,” as Tony in West Side Story.
