ROH Wozzeck nominated for International Opera Award

Deborah Warner’s thrilling and critically acclaimed staging of Berg’s Wozzeck has been nominated for the ‘New Production’ award at the 2023 International Opera Awards to take place at Teatr Wielki in Warsaw. Barnaby played a key element in the production’s success….

“Bass Barnaby Rea is another house debut as the First Apprentice. It is incredible that this fine bass, who has established himself thoroughly in mainland Europe, is only now appearing at Covent Garden.”

- Benjamin Poore, Operawire

"… while all the supporting roles were cast from strength – especially Barnaby Rea’s sepulchrally-voiced First Apprentice who made an auspicious house debut."

- Keith McDonnell, MusicOMH
