George Rae
Biography taken from 2001 (The Mikado) programme: Born in Ayrshire, George is currently in his final year of a music degree at The Ian Tomlin School of Music, Napier University, where he studies voice with Andrew Doig. He has sung a wide range of roles with Ayrshire Voices/Opera West including Hilarion (Princess Ida) and Charlie (Brigadoon). He appeared as a soloist in the world premiere of Tam O’Shanter – a new opera by Michael Norris. Solo recital work includes Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb and Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit. In July 2000 he sung excerpts from The Mikado with Linda Ormiston in St Andrews at the prestigious Oxenfoord International Summer School for Singers, for which he gained a Cross Trust Bursary. He makes his Edinburgh conducting debut in May with his own private production of Trial By Jury – an all-female production which will certainly be unique! George was recently invited to audition for, and subsequently accepted onto, the esteemed postgraduate Musical Theatre course at the Royal Academy of Music in London and, providing he can obtain adequate sponsorship, he leaves these fine shores for London in September.
