Welcome to the website of baritone Nicholas Morris
Nicholas trained at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland). He has appeared on stage as the Forester in David Pountney’s internationally-acclaimed interpretation of Janacek’s Cunning Little Vixen in revival, a co-production for Scottish Opera and RSAMD. He recently played Junius in The Rape of Lucretia for British Youth Opera. Other roles performed include Peter, Hänsel und Gretel, Count Almaviva, Le Nozze di Figaro, Denisov, War and Peace in both Scotland and Russia, Lindorf, Les contes d’Hoffmann, and Tchelio, L’amour des trois Oranges. He has trained on ENO’s Opera Works programme. This summer he will make his debut at the Buxton Festival with Bampton Classical Opera.
Away from the opera stage, Nicholas is a keen concert singer and recitalist. Appearances include Verdi’s Requiem at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh, Handel’s Judas Maccabeus and Israel in Egypt in the Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge, and Orff’s Carmina Burana in the City Halls, Glasgow, as well as regular appearances singing works such as Messiah and Bach’s passions throughout the UK and further afield. He is an alumnus of the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme at Snape Maltings, where he studied the lieder canon of Mahler and Richard Strauss under the tutelage of Dame Anne Evans. He has also sung in masterclasses for Jane Eaglen and Ian Storey. Before training as an opera singer, Nicholas studied at Jesus College, Cambridge, where, when not singing or playing rugby, he read history and philosophy of science. During his time at Cambridge he was a member of King’s College Choir. He began his singing career as a chorister at Peterborough Cathedral.
