Dominic Felts

Dominic is a Bass-Baritone from Lincolnshire, now living in London. He graduated from the University of Hull in 2021 with a First-Class Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours in Music and received the Andrew Brown Memorial Prize for academic achievement. Dominic continued his studies at Trinity Laban Conservatoire and in July 2023 he graduated from the Master of Music programme with Distinction, specialising in Vocal Studies. As a budding solo artist, Dominic has recently won both the Trinity Laban English Song and Lillian Ash French Song competitions, as well as making the final of the AESS Dorothy Richardson English Song Prize with duo partner Pietro Iacopini. In Opera, Dominic made his debut performance as Sarastro in Mozart’s The Magic Flute with Leeds Youth Opera. Since then, he has taken on significant roles in Trinity Laban’s Postgraduate Opera Scenes including Leporello in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Claggart in Britten’s Billy Budd, Scrooge in Musgrave’s A Christmas Carol, and Sparafucile in Verdi’s Rigoletto.

Dominic also has a keen interest in ensemble performance, singing regularly with London-based groups such as the Philharmonia Chorus, Exodus and Opera Rara Chorus. He has completed young artist programmes with several eminent UK-based ensembles, including The Sixteen and Stile Antico. Dominic is currently a member of the VOCES8 UK Scholars and the Emerging Artists Scheme at St Martin in the Fields. When he is not performing, Dominic enjoys assisting on music outreach and education programmes, most recently working with Gabrieli Roar for a performance of Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius. In the academic year 2023/24, Dominic will return to Trinity Laban part-time for the Artist Diploma course, generously supported by the Morag Noble, Kathleen Roberts and Elliot Rosenblatt Memorial Scholarships, whilst he continues to forge his path in a freelance career.
