IAN CADDY bass-baritone

Profile

IAN CADDY, bass-baritone, was a prize-winning student of singing at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where he studied piano also. He has appeared in a wide variety of operas and concerts with all of the major British opera companies and orchestras, as well as amassing an impressive list of engagements around the world, from Vancouver to St. Petersburg, to Hong Kong, to Houston: with opera houses, festivals, orchestras and ensembles, Radio and TV.

Ian is pleased to have achieved a concert series in Zimbabwe immediately before the troubles. One of several working-cruises, on which he has been engaged, was along the Amazon River, with an Opera Gala in the fabulous Manaus Opera House.

He has joined English National Opera on many occasions to perform his acclaimed Pooh-Bah in Jonathan Miller’s stunning production of The Mikado. He has played the same part in Venice with Teatro La Fenice, with Vancouver Opera and with Houston Opera.

With his specialist knowledge of stage-gesture - Ian is a world authority on Baroque Acting Technique www.BaroqueGestures.com - he recently employed a select vocabulary of gestures in Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs, and in Walton’s Belshazzars Feast. Both of these performances in Dublin made great impressions upon the audiences and choirs, and received tremendous ovations.

During the current season Ian Caddy sings in Dublin, Graz, Halle and Ingolstadt as well as in London and around the UK; composers from Cimarosa to Gilbert & Sullivan.

Ian Caddy has sung many ‘modern’ and ‘new’ works. A cantata by Ian Schofield: Fire From Heaven (for baritone, choir and brass) has already received performances in Manchester Cathedral, Portsmouth Cathedral and with Malvern Festival Chorus. As well as singing this work, Ian has published it as one of a series by Caddy Publishing www.CaddyPublishing.co.uk

In 2005, Ian was guest conductor of: Portsmouth Baroque Choir www.portsmouthbaroquechoir.co.uk, and of Singing Days, Provence www.singingdays.co.uk.

REVIEWS - 2006
London Cadogan Hall, London Orpheus Choir. Elijah
musicOMH.com: 25.6.2006:
“Ian Caddy, who sang Elijah, was undisputedely the man of the night. His impressive projection and vibrato, and his ability with long phrases, was wonderful. Caddy’s singing ability certainly made it all very convincing. … a wonderful portrayal of Elijah.”

London Coliseum, English National Opera. The Mikado
Opera magazine: April 2006:
“Ian Caddy’s excellent Pooh-Bah”

London Holland Park Theatre, Opera Holland Park. The Merry Widow
Evening Standard: 3.7.2006:
“As the Baron, Ian Caddy showed himself to be a superior actor who carried those less skilful in his wake to good effect.”
The Independent:
“Ian Caddy's entertainingly twitchy Ambassador has more than a touch of Leonard Rossiter”
What's On In London:
“Ian Caddy a fine, polished Ambassador”
