Professional Singing Career<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

My freelance career has taken me across the UK and Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opera Roles in London include: Don Ramiro, Tamino, Count Ory, and Lenski.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have sung in various choruses including: Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; Bayreuth Festival; La Scala, Milan; Frankfurt Oper.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Scotland I have sung various professional roles: Don Ottavio (cover) for Scottish Opera; Soloist in Salome<\/em> at the Edinburgh Festival; BBC Radio Scotland broadcasts with the John Currie Singers. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have sung in concerts and opera galas. A gala performance aboard the QE2 en route to New York with Rodney Milnes of Opera Magazive as host. I sang with The Passion of the 3 Tenors group, having taken over one of the tenor roles from Russell Watson, in great venues including Monte Carlo.<\/span><\/p>\n
