Aaron Blake - Tenor

Aaron Blake grew up in Palos Verdes in California, where his parents indulged him in violin lessons early on in Kindergarten, even if it was just for him to get half an hour off his regular lessons. On the path to becoming a professional tennis player (or indeed as a plastic surgeon as his fallback option), Aaron ended up taking on lead roles at his local theatre and school, and after seeing him in a performance of Godspell, a family friend introduced him to the teacher that would change the course of his career. After training at Juilliard School and Rice University, Aaron’s career continued to go from strength to strength, and his work has since taken him from Santa Fe Opera to the Met, Carnegie Hall, over to Israel, and here to Europe to Oper Frankfurt and beyond.  Aaron talks openly about his journey, and delivers a masterclass in dealing with criticism in a way that allows you to move through it and beyond it, and become a better artist.
