George Robarts is the winner of the Kurt Weill Foundation’s 2025 Lotte Lenya Competition in New York. With a gift for rapid-fire text and a “great penchant for comedy” (Opera Scene), he has performed cabaret in recital alongside Dame Felicity Lott, who described his work as “laugh-out-loud funny”.
Stage highlights include a “side-splitting” turn (The Guardian) as Luiz in The Gondoliers with English Touring Opera, a singer-actor starring role as the Drunken Poet and Bottom in The Fairy Queen at Longborough, and principal and cover roles at Garsington, Buxton, the Grange Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival. He has given recitals alongside Graham Johnson at the Oxford Song and Leeds Song Festivals, and debuts at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall in January 2027 with a Kurt Weill programme.
An award-winning translator and librettist, George’s new translations of Gluck’s Orpheus & Eurydice and Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro premiere in October 2026 for English Touring Opera and Oxford Opera respectively. He won the 2024 John Dryden Prize for his libretto The Revolting Maid (from Pergolesi’s La serva padrona), which premiered in 2025 with generous funding from the City Music Foundation.
George is a graduate of Oxford University with a First in German and Italian, and of the Guildhall Postgraduate programme with Distinction.
