David Miller, born April 14, 1973, is an American tenor and member of the operatic pop musical quartet Il Divo. e was born in San Diego, California but grew up in Littleton, Colorado; he is a 1991 graduate of Heritage High School.[1] In high school, he starred in high school productions as the Rooster in Annie and Noah in Two by Two. Not interested in his father's suggestions that he join the military, David went on to Oberlin Conservatory of Music [2], where he graduated with excellent grades and degrees in Vocal Performance and Opera Theatre.

He has worked with the top American opera companies on several roles, including Des Grieux in Manon, Romeo in Romeo et Juliette, Werther, Alfredo in La Traviata and Tamino in The Magic Flute with the Opera Pacific.

On May 6, 1998 he performed, along with other opera singers, for President Bill Clinton in the White House.

In 1999, he appeared with the Los Angeles Opera at the prestigious Teatro Municipal de Santiago (Chile) singing Tybalt in Bellini’s production of Capulets and Montagues in the "Fiesta de Savonlinna."

In 2000, he made his debut, with good critical reviews and much success, with the Australian Opera at La Scala in Milan, singing Tony in West Side Story.

Miller made his debut in the Flemish opera as Cassio in 2001 and 2002. In addition he performed as Trieste in Daniel Oren’s Manon. In the USA, he participated in The Tales of Hoffman in Hartford, Connecticut. He also interpreted the role of Percy in Donizetti’s Anne Boleyn in Pittsburgh with John Mauceri during 2000/2001. During the 2002/2003 season he performed in the world premiere of the opera of Marco Tuttino Vita at La Scala.

His best work to date is considered to be his role as Rodolfo in Baz Luhrmann’s 2002 version of Puccini’s La Boheme.[3] This theatrical spectacle modernized the opera, in an effort to lure young audiences to Broadway. Luhrmann staged a grand show as he did with Moulin Rouge! and his Romeo et Juliette. Luhrmann's version of La Bohème premiered in Sydney, Australia ten years before it debuted on Broadway. David was one of 3 Rodolfo's in the Original Broadway cast.

Other roles he has undertaken have included Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Belmonte in Abduction from the Seraglio and Tom Rakewell in The Rake’s Progress.
