Northern Ireland-born Duncan Stenhouse is a Calgarian bass and composer who recently completed his Advanced Operatic Diploma at the Royal Academy of Music under the support of the Sybil Tutton Opera Award and Philip Hattey Prize. Stenhouse is also a proud alumnus of the Memorial School of Music in St. John’s, NL. While living in London, England for his studies, Stenhouse performed in various summer festivals including Longborough Festival Opera, Garsington Opera, Opera Holland Park, and Hurn Court Opera. During this time, he sang in operas by Britten, Dvorák, Mozart, Puccini, Rossini, Strauss, Stravinsky, and Verdi. He was named one of CBC’s “30 hot classical musicians under 30” in 2024 and won the Sarah Harrison Prize at the Hurn Court Opera Singer of the Year Competition. This season with the COC, he performs the role of High Priest of Baal in Nabucco, First Apprentice in Wozzeck, and Zaretsky in Eugene Onegin
