2023 has been a busy year for Paul, with interesting and exciting projects also waiting in the pipeline.

 

He started the year with the Barber institute of Fine Arts in Birmingham, performing the role of Seleuco in a new production of a work by the baroque composer Stradella . The summer months found him goosing around with the children's opera Borka - the goose with no feathers. This involved a couple of months grappling with a large furry goose puppet in an opera produced and toured by Ignite Music - a fantastic new company that plans to bring opera to young people.  By late July, Paul was in front of a firing squad for a single performance of Tosca, where he enjoyed the chance to sing the role of Cavaradossi.

 

This autumn, Paul will be covering the title role in a new production of Jephtha at the ROH, and will then be rehearsing the role of the intriguingly named Melanzane in Jonathan Dove's new opera Marx in London, ready for its UK premiere early in 2024 at Scottish opera. He is also looking forward to his main stage debut at the ROH, now planned for 2025.
