With his recent star turn as Don Ramiro (La Cenerentola) at the Bregenzer Festspiel, Aaron Godfrey-Mayes is one of today’s most appealing, fastest-rising tenors.

He recently completed the Opernstudio at the Hamburg Staatsoper, singing Tamino in the entire performance run of Die Zauberflöte, as well as 14 other mainstage roles, while working with conductors such as Alexander Soddy, Paolo Arrivabeni, Giedrė Šlekytė, Leo Hussain, Kent Nagano, and Yoel Gamzou. Recent engagements include: re-engagements in Bregenz, Ferrando (Cosí fan tutte) with the Covent Garden Chamber Orchestra, and appearances at Teatro La Fenice Venice and the Bel Canto Opera Festival Rossini in Wildbad. 
 
He is equally in demand on the concert podium, where his repertoire includes the solos in Bach’s St. John Passion (tour of South Korea), St. Matthew Passion (Petersfield Music Festival), B Minor Mass (Saarbrücken, Duke’s Hall Cambridge), and Cantatas with ⁠RAM Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series and Hauptkirche St. Jacobi, Hamburg. Concerts this season include Mozart’s Davide Penitente and Mendelssohn’s Christus across Italy, an all-Telemann program in Halle and Magdeburg, Weill’s Kaddish in Hamburg, and Handel’s Messiah with Finland’s Jyväskylä Sinfonia.
