Next summer, he returns to Glyndebourne Festival Opera and makes his debut at Santa Fe Opera. On the concert platform, he performs Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde with The Royal Ballet, Siegmund in Die Walküre with Staatsorchester Stuttgart, and Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and the Ulster Orchestra.
