Peter Rose

Peter Rose is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s leading exponents of Richard Strauss’ Baron Ochs, a role he’s sung to comedic perfection in productions of Der Rosenkavalier with all the world’s leading theatres including the Wiener Staatsoper, the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala and with the Royal Ballet & Opera. And since his debut with the company as Lord Rochefort in Anna Bolena, opposite Dame Joan Sutherland in her final role in the theatre, he’s continued to work with the world’s greatest singers and conductors, including such legendary names as Sir Georg Solti, Carlos Kleiber and Carlo Maria Giulini, setting the scene for one of the most enduring and high-profile careers of any British artist in recent decades.  Equally commanding in an impressive range of operatic repertoire, appearances have included as Osmin (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Fafner (Siegfried), Boris Godunov, Falstaff, Il Commendatore (Don Giovanni), Daland (Der fliegende Holländer), Filippo II (Don Carlos), Gorjančikov (From the House of the Dead), König Marke (Tristan und Isolde), Four Villains (Les contes d’Hoffmann), and Rocco (Fidelio).  He’s also strongly associated with the role of Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream for which he has won particular acclaim and marked his debut at the Metropolitan Opera.  In recognition of his many celebrated performances at the Wiener Staatsoper, Peter Rose was awarded the lauded title of Kammersänger in 2020.
