Bruce Ford

Bruce Ford (Tenor)

Born: 15th August 1956, Lubbock, Texas

Nationality: American

American tenor Bruce Ford was born in Texas in 1956 and trained at the Houston Grand Opera Studio, relocating to Europe to begin his professional career in the early 1980s. Mozart figured prominently in his early years, but it was his portrayals of the high-lying tenor roles in Rossini’s opera serie (Uberto in La donna de Lago, Oreste in Ermione, Argirio in Tancredi and the title-role in Otello) that won him international acclaim – he appeared regularly at the Pesaro and Wexford Festivals throughout the late 1980s and 90s and subsequently became a favourite of the British label Opera Rara, appearing in lead roles on their recordings of bel canto rarities such as Pacini’s Alessandro nell’Indie, Donizetti’s Elvida, Francesca di Foix and Rosmonda d’Inghilterra (opposite Renée Fleming), and Mercadante’s Zaira.

His discography also includes acclaimed recordings of more mainstream repertoire, such as English-language recordings of Idomeneo and The Barber of Seville, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor for Sir Charles Mackerras, and the title-role in Mitridate under Sir Roger Norrington. Ford retired from singing in in his early sixties and now focuses on teaching and coaching.
