About me
Crispin is a young Director and Designer working in London, having recently graduated from Durham University where he studied Music. Whilst studying for his degree he directed three productions with the Durham Opera Ensemble: Carmen, Orpheus ed Euridice and a selection of opera scenes connected by an original narrative entitled The Voyage: Scenes of Travel. After graduating, he was with Universal Music for a year as a Publicist, but now works solely as a Designer and Director. His most recent credits include Assistant Director on Written on Skin (Melos Sinfonia) and The Lighthouse (Shadwell Opera), Set Designer on Curlew River (Ante Terminum Productions) and Assistant Production Designer for Right Place, Wrong Tim (Channel 4), and has held observerships at English National Opera, Scottish Opera, Erratica, and The Place. He is the Artistic Director of MaloMalo, a contemporary Queer performing arts organisation that specialises in devising unique and disruptive live art. In 2018, he will travel to Cardiff with National Opera Studio as Assistant Director on their Welsh National Opera residency, and will direct Samuel Barber's A Hand of Bridge for Waterperry Opera Festival.Before starting his career as a director, Crispin worked as an actor and singer across the UK. He was in children’s chorus for various Royal Opera House (The Queen of Spades, Parsifal, Die Tote Stadt, Tosca) and Glyndebourne (Carmen, Hansel und Gretel) productions, and performed a number of solo roles: Shepherd Boy in Tosca (Opera Holland Park), Cobweb in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Royal College of Music), and Miles in The Turn of the Screw (Snape Maltings). He also featured as a soloist on various commercial recording projects, including for EDF Energy and Xbox 360, and as a voice actor for films such as Pinocchio (2009), A Fox's Tale (2008), and Restless Heart: Confessions of Saint Augustine (2012).
