Book Thomas Allen
Sir Thomas Allen is an English operatic baritone admired for the beauty of his voice, the breadth of his repertoire and his gifts as a stage actor, and he stands among the finest lyric baritones of his generation. Born in Seaham Harbour, County Durham, he trained at the Royal College of Music from 1964 to 1968 and made his opera debut there in Arthur Benjamin's Prima Donna. In 1969 he joined the Welsh National Opera, debuting as D'Obigny in La traviata, and went on to sing Mozart and Rossini leads on major stages. His extensive discography includes Carmina Burana (1975), Le nozze di Figaro (1982), War Requiem (1983), Eugen Onegin (1987), Songs of Travel / On Wenlock Edge (1987), Così fan tutte (1990), Don Giovanni (1990) and Peter Grimes (1993). He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1989 and later knighted, and received The Queen's Medal for Music in 2013 and a Royal Philharmonic Society award in 2003. He served as Chancellor of Durham University from 2012 to 2022. Allen brings commanding artistry to recitals, concerts and opera.
