Lincolnshire-born bass George Elson is currently studying under Quentin Hayes at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. With a passion for languages, George particularly enjoys performing German Lieder and French Mélodies, alongside a modest operatic repertoire ranging from Monteverdi to Verdi.
As director of Fenwold Opera, he aims to bring more classical music to his home county, such as with the recent 'Bastien und Bastienne' tour and upcoming 'The Wandering Scholar' tour this April. George also regularly performs evening concerts and lunchtime recitals, with recent venues including Boston Stump, St. James' Church, and Gunby Hall.
This May, he will sing alongside Bryn Terfel and EGK in a production of Berlioz's 'Roméo et Juliette' in Bergen, Norway before performing as Father Phillipe (The Wandering Scholar) with Fenwold Opera at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. Later in the month, he will be singing Doctor Grenvil (La Traviata) with Preston Opera.
