Christopher Maltman

The 2018 Narnia Festival is thrilled to welcome baritone Christopher Maltman as a visiting artist, presenting masterclasses and guidance to the festival’s vocal artists. Maltman has performed in the world’s leading opera houses (Covent Garden, Royal Opera House, Metropolitan Opera) and is widely known for his immaculate Verdi repertoire. He is also a globally-renowned Don Giovanni, and has sung the role in London, Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Toulouse, San Sebastian, Beijing and Chicago, and adds New York and Edinburgh this year.  Increasingly in demand for Verdi roles, he has sung Posa, Simon Boccanegra, Conte di Luna and will soon add Guy de Montfort, Don Carlo di Vargas, Rigoletto and Germont. He won the Lieder prize at the Cardiff Singer of the World early in his career and has continued to delight audiences with his sensitive and engaging song performances, many of which are documented in acclaimed recordings.  His vast and varied discography, from Purcell to Ades includes John Corigliano’s Grammy award-winning ‘Ghost of Versailles’ from Los Angeles Opera.
