David Butt Philip (tenor)

One of the most exciting tenors Britain has to offer today, David Butt Philip is quickly becoming a firm favourite on the major international stages.

An alumnus of the Jette Parker Young Artist Programme, his recent debuts have included the title role in Wagner’s Lohengrin and Stolzing in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at Wiener Staatsoper; Florestan in Beethoven’s Fidelio and Prince in Dvořák’s Rusalka at the Royal Ballet and Opera; Bacchus in Ariadne auf Naxos (Richard Strauss) at the Edinburgh International Festival and Bayerische Staatsoper and title roles of Der Zwerg (Zemlinsky) and Lohengrin at Deutsche Oper Berlin have earned him major critical and public acclaim.

Last season, Butt Philip made three appearances at Wiener Staatsoper: his role debut as Apollo in Richard Strauss’s Daphne, a new production of Lohengrin and a return as Stolzing in the production he premiered the previous season. Other highlights included Don José in Bizet’s Carmen and Lohengrin at the Deutsche Oper Berlin; Florestan (Fidelio) at the Bayerische Staatsoper and a role debut as Canio in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci at Opera Holland Park. On the concert platform he performed Mahler’s Symphony No 8 with Staatskapelle Dresden under the baton of Christian Thielemann and at the Bergen International Festival with Edward Gardner; and made his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker with Dvořák’s Stabat mater conducted by Jakub Hrůša.

Born and brought up in Wells in Somerset, Butt Philip was a chorister at Peterborough Cathedral. He is a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, and the National Opera Studio and was also a Samling Artist, an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music and winner of the prestigious John Christie Award in 2011.
