Opera

I am driven by a desire to advance the countertenor voice beyond a baroque niche, and maintain an international career in Opera and Song and
also as a self-curatorial artist. I have a
particular ability in complex music,
contemporary Opera, and a love
of Lute Song and Folksong.

I was the first countertenor to
train at the National Opera
Studio, studied a Masters in
Performance as a scholar at the
Royal College of Music, and studied
Music at King’s College Cambridge as
a choral scholar.

My work includes; Dido & Aeneas - Grand Theatre du Geneve, ‘Songs of Miura Anjin’ - Japan recital tour, Bryn Bevan - ‘Blaze of Glory!’ (David Hackbridge-Johnson) for Welsh National Opera (world premiere), ‘Songs of Orpheus and Izanagi’ - an interdisciplinary
recital for Tokyo Opera City, Ottone - ‘L’Incoronazione di Poppea’ (Monteverdi) for English Touring Opera, Countertenor - ‘El Niño’ for English National Opera, Didymus - ‘Theodora’ (Handel) for Hampstead Collective, Hamlet – ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ (David Bruce) for Têtê à Têtê & The Minack Theatre, Cheshire Cat – ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ (Will Todd) for Opera Holland Park and Welsh National Opera, Piero – ‘Seven Angels’ (Jonathan Dove) for OperArt, Antonio (title role) ‘The Merchant of Venice’ (Andrei Tchaikowsky) for Welsh National Opera, Joad – ‘Athalia’ (Handel) with Konzertchor Darmstadt, Marie Stopes (title role) – ‘Dear Marie Stopes’ (Alex Mills) for Tête à Tête, Salai – ‘Leonardo’ (Alex Mills) a new opera about Leonardo da Vinci, and binaural operas ‘Sleep Future Sleep’ (Jasmin Kent Rodgman) and “With glory and his scissors glinting” (Isabella Gellis) for Shadwell Opera.
