Peter Thomson

Biography taken from 1999 (Ivanhoe) programme:

Peter was born in Dundee and studied piano and singing at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. He has performed throughout Britain in all the major opera houses. For Scottish Opera's touring company "Opera Go Round", he performed the roles of Escamillo and Marcello (La Boheme) and Tonio (I Pagliacci). He has also performed the role of Dr. Bartolo (Barber of Seville) and Dan Cairo (Carmen) with the main company. He sang at Covent Garden in The Vanishing Bridegroom, which was televised for the BBC. His music theatre experience includes the role of Baritone 1 (Martyrdom of St. Magnus) which has gained acclaim with its release on compact disc. Peter also appeared in the successful world premier of the opera Tornrak at the Banff Arts Centre in Canada.

Peter enjoys an active concert career which includes appearances in Elijah, Dream of Gerontius, Mozart's Requiem, Haydn's Creation and Rossini's Stabat Mater. He now lives and works in Edinburgh, performing much of the lighter baritone repertoire at dinners and social occasions.
