Perry Canestrari
- Biography

Although the roots of the Tenor voice, and opera in general, date back to the late 16th century in Florence, Italy, there are some surprising parallels between a country like Italy, which is bordered on the north by Switzerland, on the northwest by France and on the south by the Ionian and Mediterranean Sea, and the graceful, amorous emotionalism of Perry Canestrari's tenor vocal dexterity. Perhaps it's his delivery, which in the same breath makes songs like Phantom of The Opera move and then suddenly give the visual belief that Canestrari himself made da Vinci's Mona Lisa grin. Whatever the case may be, Canestrari is a vocal Armageddon of control.

Nestled in a suburb of Montreal, Canada, Perry Canestrari has been sharpening his Tenor forte all of his life, though he only admits to "finding my voice" in his late twenties. After successfully graduating in music from both Vanier College and McGill University (where he took part in the choir, vocal ensemble and Opera Studio), Canestrari realized, what he always intrinsically knew, when he reminiscences about a family vacation to his parents' native Italy.
