Baritone Huw Montague Rendall has distinguished himself as one of the most exciting singers of his generation. His recent debut as Pelleas Pelleas and Melisande prompted Le Figaro to say: 'We are blown away by the Pelléas of Huw Montague Rendall. Son of mezzo Diana Montague and tenor David Rendall, the English baritone has the physique, the voice and the French to be 'the' Pelléas of his generation.' The British baritone has already appeared on some of the world’s most important stages, including the Salzburg Festival, Zurich Opera, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Komische Oper Berlin and Glyndebourne Festival. Still only in his twenties, his feature engagements include leading roles at Royal Opera House, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Opera National de Paris, Dutch National Opera, Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona and Bayerische Staatsoper.
