09.01.2022 The RMP would like to congratulate Perth-born, Sydney-based Bass-Baritone Andrew O’Connor as the winner of this year’s 14th RMP Aria Competition. RMP Artistic D...irector Andrew Wailes made the announcement at the conclusion of this year’s Aria Final, which for the first time was streamed online due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Runner-up was the London-born tenor Joshua Oxley, formerly of Sydney but currently based in Melbourne. Third Prize was awarded to the Adelaide soprano Karina Bailey. This year’s Conductor’s Encouragement Award was presented to Welsh-born, Melbourne-based soprano Amelia Jones. A Judges’ Commendation was given to Melbourne baritone, James Emerson. The Judges were particularly impressed with Andrew O’Connor’s performance of excerpts from Handel’s Messiah and two movements of J.S.Bach’s Church Cantata Ich habe genug, filmed in the Chapter Hall of St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney, accompanied by Thomas Wilson. Andrew O’Connor was born in Perth, and studied at the University of Western Australia before establishing a successful career in both teaching and performance and later moving to Sydney. From 2015 2019 he was a core member of The Song Company. Andrew holds positions as a Lay Clerk with St Mary’s Cathedral Choir and was an Associate Artist with Pacific Opera in 2019. He appears regularly with virtually all of Sydney’s leading early and contemporary music organizations including Pinchgut Opera, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and Choir, Opera Australia Chorus, Bach Akademie Australia, Cantillation, the Choir of St James, Hourglass Ensemble, and Sydney Antiphony. He balances these ensemble commitments with an emerging career as a soloist. His pre-pandemic 2020 engagements were to include Splendour of Venice, Medee and Purcell & Charpentier with Pinchgut Opera, Bach’s St John Passion with Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Handel’s Sampson for St George’s Cathedral, Perth, various projects with Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Bach Akademie Australia, Collegium Musicum, Sydney University Graduate Choir, and a residency at the American Bach Soloists Academy in San Francisco. Completed or future performances and projects in 2020 include Attila with Opera Australia, Bass Soloist in Handel’s Messiah with Sydney Chamber Choir, an opera film project for Pinchgut Opera, Actus Tragicus BWV 106 with Bach Akademie Australia for Melbourne Digital Concert Hall, a recording project for The Song Company, a recording project for St Mary’s Cathedral Choir, and Graeme Koehne’s Love Burns for The Other Theatre. His 2019 solo engagements included Telemann’s Thunder Ode for Pinchgut Opera, Handel’s L’Allegro for Choir of St James, Acis & Galatea for Ensemble Polyphème, Messiah for Newcastle Cathedral; Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, BWV151, BWV191; Orff’s Carmina Burana with Canberra Youth Orchestra, Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro (Scenes); Britten’s Paul Bunyan (Scenes); Kurt Weill’s Down in the Valley with Pacific Opera, Arvo Pärt’s Passio, Faure’s Requiem and Elliott Gyger’s And I Heard a Voice Out of Heaven with Coro Innominata, Josephine Gibson’s Panta Kremamena (Premiere) with Leichhardt Espresso Chorus, and two solo recital programs. Other significant career highlights include projects such as Brett Dean’s Hamlet at the 2019 Adelaide Festival, performing Berio’s Cries of London at the 2017 Metropolis New Musical Festival in Melbourne, various solo and ensemble programs at the 2015-2018 Canberra International Music Festival, and tours through Far-North Queensland and USA (New York & Washington DC) with The Australian Voices Six. His operatic experience includes five years of main stage and regional touring with West Australian Opera (2010 2014) and a wide span of roles with independent companies. In 2020 Andrew joins Opera Australia for Verdi’s Attila and also sang in OA’s landmark ‘silent production’ of Alan John’s Eighth Wonder in 2016. In 2019 he sang the role of Polyphemus (Handel Acis & Galatea) in Ensemble Polypheme’s inaugural season. His complete roles include Caronte (L'Orfeo), Aeneas (Dido & Aeneas), Polyphemus (Acis & Galatea), Papageno (Die Zauberflöte), Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro), Zeus (Orphée aux Enfers), Die Totengraber (Der Rose Pilgerfahrt), Pooh Bah (The Mikado) and he originated the roles of Bill (Dreamers of the Day) and Daniel (Plains of Promise). Performed scenes include Seneca (L'incoronazione di Poppea), Zurga (The Pearl Fishers), Zuniga (Carmen), Don Magnifico (La Cenerentola), Don Alfonso (Cosi Fan Tutte), Malatesta (Don Pasquale), Rigoletto (Rigoletto) and Superintendent Budd (Albert Herring). His non-classical stage experience includes performing the roles of Javert (Les Miserables), Miles Gloriosus (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum), Rapunzel's Prince (Into the Woods), Tinman (The Wiz), Teen Angel (Grease) for various organisations. In an educational capacity, he continues to teach, conduct, and mentor with various organizations including Gondwana National Choirs, St Aloysius College, Kirribilli, Sydney Children’s Choir, Perth Choral Institute, and the award-winning Moorambilla Voices program. The RMP Congratulates Andrew O’Connor, who now joins an elite list of singers who have been named winners of the RMP Aria Competition.
