British baritone Christopher Maltman was born in 1970 and read biochemistry at the University of Warwick before training as a singer at the Royal Academy of Music; in 1997 he won the Lieder Prize at BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, and made his Covent Garden debut (as Ned Keene in Britten’s Peter Grimes) the same year.
