  • Pdf Allan Clayton 2019-20 Season
    Soul Singer RPS Award winner Allan Clayton’s 2019-20 season includes Britten Series at Wigmore Hall, La Scala debut with John Eliot Gardiner and Brett Dean’s Hamlet in concert at the Concertgebouw "Clayton’s voice wrapped around all of them [Mark Anthony Turnage's Refugee songs] like a glove, with perfect weight and range of colour and dynamics, and he returned to end the evening with an equally masterly account of Britten’s Nocturne" The Guardian, September 2019 Any attempt to survey the major landmarks of 21st century classical music must surely include Brett Dean’s Hamlet. The opera’s premiere production in 2017 not only proved a triumph for its composer but also for Allan Clayton, whose title-role performance was hailed by the Guardian for its ‘slow-burning intensity’ and eulogised by The Times: ‘Forget Cumberbatch. Forget even Gielgud,’ wrote the paper’s senior critic, Richard Morrison. ‘I haven’t seen a more physically vivid, emotionally affecting or psychologically astute portrayal of the Prince of Denmark than Allan Clayton gives in this sensational production.’ The 38-year-old tenor returns to the role later this season for Hamlet’s Dutch premiere, presented in concert by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Markus Stenz at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw (20 June 2020). He can also be seen in Opus Arte’s DVD of the work’s original production, winner of Gramophone’s 2019 Contemporary Award. “Everyone involved in staging Hamlet for the first time had to do something extraordinary, to work above and beyond,” Allan Clayton recalls of the experience, which also earned him the 2017 Royal Philharmonic Society’s Singer Award.
