Randall
Scotting

Countertenor

Countertenor Randall Scotting has become an accomplished artist performing with the world’s most esteemed opera houses and concert venues.  He has recently been a featured New Artist for Musical America, a 'Rising Star' in BBC Music Magazine, and 'One to Watch' on Scala Classical Radio.  

In 2019, Randall made a spectacular debut at the Royal Opera House in Britten’s Death in Venice, singing to sold-out audiences at Covent Garden, and he then immediately joined the roster of the Metropolitan Opera to cover in Handel’s Agrippina.  In 2021, after a widely praised performance as the Refugee in Dove’s Flight at Seattle Opera, he sang the title role in Cavalli’s Eliogabalo in San Francisco before recording a solo album of virtuosic castrato arias with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, led by Handel-specialist Laurence Cummings.  This album, titled The Crown, was released in September 2022 and has won rave reviews internationally (‘ravishing vocalism’ BBC Music Magazine, ‘the very model of a 21st-century countertenor’ Limelight, ‘revelatory and significant’ Opera Wire, ‘riveting performances – not to be missed’ Music Web International). 

Trained at London’s Royal College of Music, the Juilliard Opera Center, and as a Fulbright Scholar at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, Randall has previously worked with many major American and European venues, including Santa Fe Opera, Italy’s Festival dei due mondi in Spoleto, Boston Baroque, The Bath International Music Festival, Carnegie Hall, and the Göttingen Handel Festival, among others.  Last season, Randall made his Bayerische Staatsoper debut in Haas’ Thomas and he again worked with the Metropolitan Opera for Aucoin’s Eurydice.  This season, he joins the Lyric Opera of Chicago for their world-premiere production of Proximity, he returns to Seattle Opera to sing Ruggiero in Handel’s Alcina (which he also sings in Wuppertal in 2024), and he performs Handel's Amadigi for Ars Lyrica Houston.  Lovesick, his solo album with renowned lutenist and Grammy winner Stephen Stubbs is released in February 2023, and an album of 17th-century Venetian love duets with the Academy of Ancient Music comes out in November 2023.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work and perform, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation – the first storytellers and singers of songs.
We pay our respects to their elders past and present.
