Aaron Holmes studied for six years at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) where he completed both a BMus in voice and an MA in advanced opera performance. During his studies at the RWCMD, Aaron had the pleasure of learning under the tutelage of the late Eric Roberts. Some notable roles are Guiseppe/Gondoliers and Sid/Albert Herring; both performed during his last year on the MA opera course. Other roles include, Willi Graf in the Welsh National Youth Opera production of Kommilitonen and Motor Cop in the Welsh National Opera (WNO) production of Dead Man Walking. Aaron also covered the role of Joseph de Rocher the same opera with WNO. In the summer of 2021, Aaron debuted with Longborough Festival Opera in their production of The Cunning Little Vixen. Aaron played the role of Haraŝta and covered the roles of Forester and Pásek. Aaron has then since returned to Longborough in 2022, for their production of La Liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina performing the role of Plant/Monster, and earlier this year he performed as part of the chorus for their production of Götterdämmerung.
