Roger Paterson’s music training began at the Junior Academy of Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) and continued at the University of Glasgow where he gained an honours degree in Musicology in 2007. He has since studied with Paul Farrington and Tim Richards.
Roger has worked as a professional opera singer since May 2015 and on the operatic stage, he has performed quite a few roles now, including:-
• Emeute and Telemaco (cover), The Return of Ulysses, (Longborough Festival Opera)
• Giuseppe (and cover of Gaston), La Traviata, (Longborough Festival Opera)
• Pierre, The Wandering Scholar, (Northern Opera Group)
• Count Almaviva, Il Barbiere de Seville, (Opera Brava)
• Rodolfo, La Bohème, (OLIVIER nominated, The Trafalgar Studios / London)
In 2020 he performed the roles of Cavaradossi in Opera Undone’s version of Puccini’s Tosca, and Rodolfo and Mimi in Opera Undone’s new gay version of Puccini’s La Boheme in London’s Westend theatre, The Trafalgar Studios. However, his work with Welsh National Opera for the first time in 2020 covering the 1st Japanese Emissary in Stravinsky’s The Nightingale, was cancelled due to the coronavirus.
As theatres started to open in 2021 Roger performed the lead tenor role of Count Almaviva in Opera Brava’s tour of Rossini’s, The Barber of Seville, and the lead tenor role of Pierre with Northern Opera Group in Holst’s, The Wandering Scholar and performed the lead tenor role of Ernesto in Donizetti’s, Don Pasquale, with Opera Novella in collaboration with Birmingham Music Conservatoire. He also covered the roles of Emeute and Telemaco in Longborough Festival Opera’s production of The Return of Ulysses.
In 2022, Roger will work with Opera Bohemia, performing the role of Basilio in their production of Mozart’s, ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’. He will perform Count Almaviva once again with Opera Brava and take on his first cruise ship contracts this year.
