About me
I started out as a professional actor in Scotland and worked at Dundee Rep, Edinburgh Royal Lyceum & Glasgow Citizens amongst others before retraining as an operatic tenor at RSAMD. I have performed as a soloist for Scottish Opera, Wexford Festival Opera, The Opera Group, Paris Chatelet, Barcelona Liceu, Grange Park, Holland Park, Garsington, Iford, Buxton Festival, and covered at The Royal Opera, Covent Garden and Opera North.I have done a lot of educational work in schools for Scottish Opera For All, Opera North and English Pocket Opera Co, where I was an associate director, leading and devising workshops/performances in venues ranging from school halls to the Royal Albert Hall.
In recent years, I have worked a lot with Opera della luna specialising in Offenbach character tenor roles as well as moving into baritone territory with the Gilbert & Sullivan patter roles.
Additional skills:
As a writer, I created a new English translation of Offenbach's "Belle Lurette" for New Sussex Opera, which was highly praised, and wrote the shows "Opera Quest" and "The History of Western Classical Music (Part One)" for English Pocket Opera Co.
I was born in Australia to an Irish mother & English father, and have lived in Scotland since the age of 5. As a result, I have UK, Irish & Australian passports.
