George Robarts is an emerging British baritone with a vibrant stage presence and a ‘great penchant for comedy’ (Opera Scene). A versatile singer and actor, he recently starred as Bottom/Drunken Poet in Longborough Festival Opera’s opera-drama adaptation of The Fairy Queen (★★★★★ The Stage), Junius in The Rape of Lucretia for British Youth Opera, and covered Starveling in A Midsummer Night’s Dream for Garsington Opera.
He is increasingly in demand in recital and concert, with upcoming engagements in 2024 at St John’s Smith Square (Five Mystical Songs), the Oxford International Song Festival, Ludlow Song and the Mayfield Festival. In 2023 he sang Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin with Graham Johnson OBE at Leeds Lieder Festival.
He has been praised for his Bach interpretations as Pilate St John Passion at St Bartholomew’s, New York City (Robert Quinney / English Concert Players), and Jesus St Matthew Passion at various UK venues.
George graduated with Distinction from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where he studied as a postgraduate under Robert Dean. A fluent German and Italian speaker, he previously read Modern Languages at Oxford University, graduating with a First.
George moonlights in cabaret and revue music, with a particular taste for Noel Coward and Tom Lehrer, whose music he has performed alongside Graham Johnson and Dame Felicity Lott at Henry Wood Hall.
Alongside singing, George is a prizewinning professional translator with multiple book publications to his name. He has recently written a new singing translation of Pergolesi’s La serva padrona, to be premiered in 2024-25.
