Alan Fischer began his professional singing career at age of 6 with the Metropolitan and New York City Opera Children's Choruses.  As an adult he was a professional opera singer for many years and an accomplished teacher specializing in operatic character development and audition presentation for singers.

For 26 years he ran a very successful classical vocal music program with an emphasis on opera and art song for high school students.  A number of his graduates from this program grace major opera stages in America and Europe including the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Paris Opera, Dresden Opera, and the Vienna Staatsoper.  He is most happy working with young singers of high school and college age to develop vocal potential and prepare them for college and beyond.

​

As a performer, he maintains over 50 character and supporting tenor roles in his repertoire and has performed with many American companies and in Europe.  As a director, he has directed and conducted more than 35 opera productions at The Governor's School for the Arts. In 2004, he was recognized by the North Carolina School for the Arts as a “Teacher of the Year” and in 2018, he was recognized as a “Super Teacher” by The Frost School of Music in Miami.
