Making his role debut as Dulcamara in L’elisir d’amore this summer, he will also be appearing with IF Opera performing Lorek/Fedora, Bertrand/Iolanta, and White Knight in Will Todd’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. 

Due for release in the next year, he performs the roles of Doctor Rees and Yncl Wil in Un Nos Ola Leuad [One Moonlit Night]: a new film commissioned by Channel 4/ S4C and the first ever Welsh language opera broadcast on British television. 

In the 21/22 Season he made debuts at Wexford Opera Festival and at Scottish Opera (in the latter his role debut was as Masetto in Sir Thomas Allen’s production of Don Giovanni). Additionally he has worked with Opera North, English National Opera, Grange Park Opera, Longborough Festival Opera, and Mid Wales Opera. Roles have included Figaro/ The Marriage of Figaro, Colline/La bohème, Papageno/The Magic Flute, and Sacristan/Tosca. An alumnus of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and the National Opera Studio, he is grateful for the support of Longborough Festival and thrilled to be returning to the Cotswolds.
