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 Handel to Verdi.
As director of Fenwold Opera, he aims to bring more classical music to his home county, such as with the recent productions of Holst's 'The Wandering Scholar' and Mozart's 'Bastien und Bastienne'. George also regularly performs evening concerts and lunchtime recitals, with previous venues including Boston Stump, St. James' Church, and Gunby Hall.
In May, he sung Doctor Grenville (La Traviata) with Preston Opera and looks forward to making his RNCM debut this winter in Prokofiev's 'L'amour des Trois Oranges' as Le Héraut and La Cuisinière in both casts, before singing the title role in Handel's 'Hercules' this February with his company, Fenwold Opera.
