Back in London

I'm back in London now after a great run as the Count in Le Nozze di Figaro with the State Opera of South Australia. It was fantastic fun to work with old friends again and to perform in the popular Neil Armfield production with an enthusiastic and intelligent cast. Thanks to everyone who came to the Adelaide Festival Theatre to support us and I hope you all enjoyed the opera as much as we did.

Cheers
Grant

Opera North 2009

Good news that Grant will appear with Opera North next April/May/June (2009) as "Sascha" in the revival of "Paradise Moscow". Shostakovich's Cheryomushki, renamed Paradise Moscow, is a fast-paced, light-hearted musical that sends the audience out into the street humming a rousing chorus of "Cheryomushki!" For more information go to www.operanorth.co.uk

Opera North 2008

Unfortunately due to an injury Grant has pulled out of Demetrius in "Midsummer Nights' Dream" and Mercutio in "Romeo et Juliette" for Opera North this season. He is progressing rapidly now though and is back on his feet and will hopefully be seen again sometime in Leeds very soon.
