Tenor
I am a light-lyric tenor from Bristol studying with Mark Wilde on the Vocal Masters course at The Royal Academy of Music on a scholarship. A Cardiff University Music Graduate, I was awarded The University's Vocal Scholarship, The Cardiff University David Lloyd Prize for Singing and The Elizabeth Griffiths Prize. I was a finalist in the 2017 Dean & Chadlington Singing Competition and have been mentored and supported by Garsington Opera, receiving coaching with Stephen Higgins at ENO.
Since 2015 I have been working as a soloist and chorus with Opera Holland Park. I am an experienced deviser and I have most recently developed work, and was on the Young Artist Programme, with Mahogany Opera Group, premiering their new children's opera The Rattler at The Royal Festival Hall and touring throughout 2016. In addition I have developed new music-theatre pieces for The Helios Collective and The Theatre Royal Bath (The Egg)/Dance Umbrella, and in April 2016 I prepared the role of Tom Rakewell for workshops with Simon McBurney (Complicite) to develop his production for the 2017 Festival d'Aix-en-Provence.
With The Melos Sinfonia in July 2016 I performed the role of Un Amante (Il Tabarro) in concert at LSO St Lukes, and performed at the 2017 International Opera Awards onstage at The London Colesium with The Helios Collective. I have collaborated with Hannah Stone, The Royal Harpist, on The Britten Choral Dances from Gloriana in December 2013, and I made my professional recital debut in January 2015 with a programme of Handel repertoire at The Handel House Museum. I am an experienced oratorio soloist, and have performed a wide range of sacred repertoire with major choirs nationally.
Theatre-Maker
I am Festival Director of Waterperry Opera Festival, a unique festival of operatic productions and participatory events opening in August 2018. I am Co-founder and Artistic Director of performance collective Indomitable; a group of early-career artists that collaborate and explore different creative forms. For the company I have performed innovative staged performances of Britten's Five Canticles and Vaughan-Williams' Ten Blake Songs, exploring puppetry and physical theatre elements. I have received training in puppetry and movement from Will Tuckett (ENB/RB), Sue Buckmaster (Theatre-Rites), Mervyn Millar (Handspring Puppetry) and Mark Down (Blind Summit), in workshops with The Chroma Ensemble. I have a passion for outreach and work for young people, frequently performing in or curating workshops and participatory events, including working with Opera Holland Park Inspire Programme.
