“Phenomenal actor… every moment spontaneous… impeccable delivery of lyrics” Kurt Weill Foundation
In 2025, George Robarts won First Prize at the Lotte Lenya Competition in the USA, awarded by the Kurt Weill Foundation. With a gift for rapid-fire text and a “great penchant for comedy” (Opera Scene), he has performed cabaret in recital alongside Dame Felicity Lott, who described his work as “laugh-out-loud funny”.
Recent stage highlights include a “side-splitting” turn (The Guardian) as Luiz in The Gondoliers with English Touring Opera, a singer-actor starring role as the Drunken Poet and Bottom in The Fairy Queen at Longborough, and principal and cover roles at Garsington, Buxton, the Grange Festival, British Youth Opera, and the Edinburgh International Festival.
