West Green House Opera: new artistic director Tom Elwin introduces the 2024 season
[…] Kofi Waldren (who directed and conducted Rossini's La Cenerentola in 2019 and Donizetti's L’elisir d’amore in 2022 at West Green). The strong cast includes Dominic Sedgwick as Figaro, Nico Darmanin as Almaviva and Katie Bray as Rosina.Tom had sung at West Green and the company had supported him, but it was still a surprise when they approached him about taking over as artistic director [the company has something of a tradition of using singers in artistic roles, Yvonne Kenny was artistic advisor to the company in the early days and Kirsty Hopkins, from The Sixteen, was the previous artistic director].

A record breaker, for sure, the King has released over 100 records since his début in the 1990s while his songs have been covered and performed by such luminous artists as Patti Smith and Simple Minds.
