During that time he won the RNCM's highest student award, the Curtis Gold Medal.

He subsequently appeared with the company in several more roles, including Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Monterone in Rigoletto, and Masetto in Don Giovanni.[4] He went on to an international career, appearing on the stages of many European opera houses and festivals. In 2008 he was a finalist in the Seattle International Wagner Competition and in 2013 made his US debut as Kothner in Lyric Opera of Chicago's production of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.[5][6] His work as a soloist in oratorio and concert includes several appearances at the BBC Proms—Elijah, Le Rossignol, Les Troyens, The Seven Last Words of Christ, Peter Grimes, and a concert performance of the Glyndebourne production of Billy Budd.[7] From 2017, his career included more Wagnerian roles, including Der Fliegende Holländer and Wotan in Das Rheingold.Шаблон:Citation needed
