Colm Wilkinson (born 5 June 1944), also known as C. T. Wilkinson, is an Irish tenor, best known for originating the role of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables (in the West End and Broadway) and for taking the title role in The Phantom of the Opera at the Sydmonton Festival and in the original Canadian production.

Due to his association with these musicals, he reprised the role of Jean Valjean during the Les Misérables 10th Anniversary Concert (at The Royal Albert Hall), as well as appearing as a special guest at the 25th Anniversary Celebrations of Les Misérables (at the O2 arena) and The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall.

Biographie

In 1970, Colm married Deirdre, whom he describes as a source of constant and essential support over the past four decades. They started their life as a married couple in Bray in 1970, and went on to have four children – Aaron, Judith, Sarah, and Simon. They have a home in Wicklow, yet now live mainly in Canada. The family moved to Toronto in 1989 when Colm began a four-and-a-half-year run at the Pantages Theatre (Toronto) as the title character of The Phantom of the Opera, originating the role in Canada. Of their children, Judith is now a curator, Simon and Sarah are graphic designers and Aaron is a singer/songwriter. Early in his music career, Wilkinson insisted that his wife and children accompany him on tour to avoid familial separation.

Wilkinson was voted one of the five greatest singers ever in a Rolling Stone Magazine readers' poll and is noted for maintaining a powerful singing voice into his late 60s. He has attributed his longevity to avoiding coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, and dairy products, as well as ensuring proper sleep, diet, and exercise. He is also noted as being rather soft-spoken in order to refrain from overworking his voice.

En 1815, Jean Valjean, prisonnier français condamné à dix-neuf ans de servitude au Bagne de Toulon pour avoir volé du pain et avoir tenté de s'échapper de nombreuses fois, est mis en libération conditionnelle. La colère de Jean Valjean augmente quand son statut sous conditions l'empêche de trouver du travail ou un logement. Il est finalement recueilli par le gentil évêque de Digne, mais Jean Valjean vole son argenterie. Quand il est capturé par des officiers de police et amené devant l'évêque, il est surpris de la réaction de celui-ci, qui lui offre l'argenterie, lui disant de l'utiliser pour faire quelque chose de bon de sa vie. Valjean décide alors de déchirer sa lettre de libération conditionnelle et commence une nouvelle vie.

Un génie musical défiguré, caché à l'Opéra de Paris, terrorise la compagnie d'opéra au profit involontaire d'une jeune protégée qu'il forme et aime. Le 25e anniversaire de la première représentation publique du Fantôme de l'Opéra a été célébré par une grande représentation au Royal Albert Hall de Londres.
