James Geer tenor

Welcome to my website! I do hope you’ll enjoy your visit.

The second half of 2011 was really busy. A lovely semi-staging of My Fair Lady at the Cadogan Hall was followed by a trip to Worcester for a performance of Beethoven’s Mass in C at the Three Choirs Festival. September brought rehearsals and the first performance of Bampton Classical Opera’s staging of The Choice of Hercules, a rarely performed gem by Handel. This was a challenging but thoroughly rewarding project, singing the chorus lines, one to a part and then ’stepping out’ for arias. Autumn was filled with four recitals of Duparc songs and numerous oratorio concerts - Israel in Egypt at the Albert Hall in Nottingham, Saint Nicolas in Bingham and then Messiahs at St George’s Hanover Square, Leicester’s De Montfort Hall (with the Philharmonia Orchestra), Cadogan Hall, Gloucester Cathedral and the Usher Hall.

In February I made my ROH2 debut, taking part in the latest Exposure:Opera project. In the space of four days we learned and staged extracts from 17 different recently composed operas! Lent 2012 heralded more oratorios; Bach’s B Minor Mass in Bath Abbey and St Matthew Passion in Guildford Cathedral.

The next few months are filled with rehearsals for Glyndebourne - this year I will be taking part in La Cenerentola and The Fairy Queen.
