Peter Davoren - Tenor

Peter was awarded the Dr Ralph Kohn Scholarship to attend the Royal Academy of Music, London under the tutelage of the renowned tenor Neil Mackie, and Mary Hill. Peter quickly gained a reputation as ‘one to watch for the future’ after his performance as Evangelist in the RAM performance of Bach’s St John Passion, conducted by Edward Higginbottom. Peter’s experience in Oratorio has led to being a regular performer for the Monteverdi Choir with John Elliot Gardiner and made his BBC Proms debut as a soloist in the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610, as well as becoming a member of groups such as Solomon’s Knot, The Constellation Choir and Orchestra, La Nuova Musica and Musica Poetica, and becoming a sought-after tenor soloist for baroque music.

Operatically, Peter has performed the roles of Nemorino (L’elisir d’amore); Lacouf and Le Journaliste (Les mamelles des Tiresias); and Florville (Il Signor Bruschino) with the Dutch National Opera Academy; Ferrando (Cosi fan tutte– Opera Lyrica); Alfred (Die Fledermaus); Goro (Madama Butterfly); Song Vendor (Il Tabarro);  Messenger (Aida); Alfred (Die Fledermaus) with Opera Holland Park; Ramon (La Navarraise) and Carlino (Don Bucefalo) with Wexford Opera; and Tito (La clemenza di Tito) with Teatru Manoel, Malta. Future engagements include Elgar Dream of Gerontius, Dvorak Stabat Mater, Monteverdi Vespers of 1610, Carissimi Jephte,  and Verdi Requiem. Peter is also a member of the BBC Singers.
