Intro
Cornelius (C.J.) David is a singer based in the DC area, with a passion for stage performance. As a tenor, he is fluent in musical theatre and operatic literature, feeling at home while singing a Rossini aria and following by belting a broadway rock song. His age is a bit of a mystery, as his students think he’s an adult, but he’s known by directors like Francesca Zambello as “that high school kid”.

"[Lane] shares a strong chemistry with the bellhop, Cornelius David, a polished local opera singer whose boyish charm and talent shine on stage."
"Cornelius David has a light, comedic sensibility in duets like 'A Fine Romance,' but his lyrical side, including a delicate falsetto, shone through in 'You’re Devastating.'"
"CJ David is a manic Pistol, as physically over the top as the dialogue Shakespeare wrote for the character...David's intense portrayal is fitting and funny." Eric Minton: "An Aria in Praise of the Fat Knight"
"Most of the principals in this Falstaff are in good voice, with special notice to Jennifer Sin as Nannetta Page and CJ David as Fenton—yes, the manic Pistol of that afternoon's Merry Wives becomes the romantic Fenton in Falstaff. His and Sin's voices blend beautifully in the duets." Eric Minton: "An Aria in Praise of the Fat Knight"
"C.J.David’s disaffected youth routine as the apathetic resort receptionist is handled marvelously, even through the beautiful operatic tone he possesses and expresses effortlessly." Chris Williams, MD Theatre Guide.
"David’s blushing tenor coils around each note like green vine candy, and when paired in 'Within This Hour We Met' with Kline’s silvery soprano, we sense the fleshy intertwining of lovers - they are fabulous individually but orgasmic together." Terry Bryne: "'Robin Hood' at the Victorian Lyric Opera Company"
"Cornelius David, as Gonzalve, elicited the most laughter, as he danced around the stage dressed as a ballerina." L'heure Espagnole.
"Critics are calling the show 'on the money'...never missing a beat by playing butch to the adorable David's boys-will-be-boys sex appeal." Edge Media Network, Loot
