Roland York

Biography taken from 2002 (Princess Ida) programme:

ROLAND YORK, or Rolly as he is usually known, is delighted to be back on the Kings Theatre stage again this year, playing the part of King Hildebrand. Over the years, he has played most of the bass and baritone roles in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, first with the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group and then with Edinburgh G&S. He has also sung with Southern Light Opera and Edinburgh Grand Opera. He is very pleased that all four of the Yorks are appearing in Princess Ida - it can't be very often that four members of the same family appear on stage together.
