English National Opera

Having performed over 35 roles for English National Opera, Shore describes it as 'the closest thing to feeling like a home company for me.'

Roles have included Don Alfonso in Così fan tutte, Dulcamara in The Elixir of Love, Verdi's Falstaff and a role with which he is particularly associated, Dr Bartolo in The Barber of Seville. In modern works he has played Doeg in the British premiere of Philip Glass' The Making of the Representative for Planet 8.
