The countertenor Jake Arditti’s showstealing riches of vocal colour and stage presence, have already brought him widespread critical and public acclaim in such Baroque virtuoso warhorses as Handel’s Rinaldo (Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow), Serse (title role at Longborough Festival Opera), Riccardo Primo (title role at the London Handel Festival), Othniel in Joshua (Opera North) and Sesto in Giulio Cesare (Teatro Colón).

His extended vocal range has also seen him encompass such roles as Amore (Theater an der Wien and Zürich Opera) and Nerone (Pinchgut Opera, Sydney) in Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea. He sung David in Handel’s Saul (Theater an der Wien), a role debut in a new production directed by Claus Guth, conducted by Laurence Cummings, Apollo in Legrenzi’s La divisione del mondo with Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques and Sesto in Handel’s Giulio Cesare in Halle. He also recorded the role of Ernesto in Vinci’s Gismondo with Parnassus Arts Productions.
