Simon Carter
British tenor Simon Mascarenhas Carter is currently in his first season with the Vienna State Opera’s Opera Studio. He previously studied at the Royal College of Music as a Leverhulme Arts Scholar and was a member of the choir at King’s College, Cambridge.
After completing his studies, he spent two seasons at the Glyndebourne Festival, where he created the role of Police Officer I in the world premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage’s The Railway Children. He has also appeared as tenor soloist in Handel’s Messiah and performed Echo in William Kentridge’s production of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. His other roles include Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, Alfred in Die Fledermaus and Ferrando in Così fan tutte.
His concert repertoire includes Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius, Puccini’s Messa di Gloria, Britten’s Saint Nicolas, Rossini’s Petite Messe solennelle, Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine and Haydn’s Die Schöpfung. He regularly collaborates with guitarist Mark Dangerfield in song recitals; most recently, they performed works by Walton and de Falla at the Royal Albert Hall.
