Roderick Williams encompasses a wide repertoire, from baroque to contemporary music, in the opera house, on the concert platform and in recital.

He enjoys relationships with all the major UK opera houses and is particularly associated with the baritone roles of Mozart. He has also sung world premieres of operas by, among others, David Sawer, Sally Beamish, Michael van der Aa, Robert Saxton and Alexander Knaifel.

Born in London, Michael Druiett studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Royal College of Music and the National Opera Studio. Studies with Norman Bailey, and, more recently, with Sir John Tomlinson led to his debut as Wotan in Opera North’s Das Rheingold. He returned to the company to sing Der Wanderer in Siegfried. He also took part in Opera North’s complete cycles of Der Ring des Nibelungen in 2016, a performance currently to be seen on BBC Online.

Peter Willcock, originally from Worcestershire, moved to London to study at Trinity College of Music where he was supported by numerous scholarships and bursaries and left with the vocal department silver medal and a first class honours degree. 

Since then he has worked as a soloist and chorister for the Royal Opera House, English National Opera, National Theatre, Grange Park Opera, Garsington Opera, Pimlico Opera and other small opera companies.
