Huw Montague Rendall (baritone)

Baritone Huw Montague Rendall has distinguished himself as one of the most exciting singers of his generation. His recent debut as Pelleas Pelleas and Melisande prompted Le Figaro to say: 'We are blown away by the Pelléas of Huw Montague Rendall. Son of mezzo Diana Montague and tenor David Rendall, the English baritone has the physique, the voice and the French to be 'the' Pelléas of his generation.' The British baritone has already appeared on some of the world’s most important stages, including the Salzburg Festival, Zurich Opera, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Komische Oper Berlin and Glyndebourne Festival. Still only in his twenties, his feature engagements include leading roles at Royal Opera House, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Opera National de Paris, Dutch National Opera, Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona and Bayerische Staatsoper.

Montague Rendall continues his remarkable ascent during the 2021/22 with a series of anticipated projects: Papageno Die Zauberflöte for his company debuts with Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and Lyric Opera of Chicago; the title role in Le lacrime di Eros, a world premiere of a baroque pastiche imagined by conductor Raphaël Pichon and director Romeo Castelucci at the Dutch National Opera; as well as a return to Glyndebourne Festival.

On the concert platform he sang Brahms’ Ein Deutches Requiem together with the Dutch National Opera at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam; Ned Keene Peter Grimes at the Enescu Festival; a 'Mozart Matinee' series with Raphaël Pichon at the Salzburg Festival; Richard Blackford’s Pietà at the Cadogan Hall with the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus & Orchestra; Mendelssohn's Die Erste Walpurgisnacht with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra; Duruflé’s Requiem with the RTE National Symphony Orchestra and many concerts in the UK ranging from solo song recitals to sacred works by Brahms, Handel, Stainer, Fauré, Finzi and Vaughan Williams. A dedicated recitalist his most recent appearances include a liederabend with Hélio Vida in Nancy and Die schöne Müllerin with pianist Gary Matthewman for Lancaster Arts.
