Allan Clayton (Tenor)
Born: 1980
The British tenor Allan Clayton began singing as a chorister at Worcester Cathedral, going on to read Archaeology & Anthropology at St. John’s College Cambridge (where he held a choral scholarship and sang the title-role in Peter Grimes whilst still an undergraduate) followed by postgraduate study at the Royal Academy of Music. Shortly after graduation he became a BBC New Generation Artist, and an acclaimed debut as Britten’s Albert Herring at Glyndebourne soon followed; subsequent roles at the Festival have included Jonathan in Barrie Kosky’s staging of Handel’s Saul, Male Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia, and the title-role in the world premiere of Brett Dean’s 2017 opera Hamlet (which prompted The Times to declare ‘Forget even Gielgud. I haven’t seen a more physically vivid, emotionally affecting or psychologically astute portrayal of the Prince of Denmark’).
