About
Gerald Martin Moore – voice teacher, vocal consultant and pianist – has worked with some of the biggest names in opera including renowned sopranos Renée Fleming, Marie McLaughlin and Natalie Dessay.
Brought up in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, on a diet of Hollywood musicals and operatic scores, his career has taken him from touring Carmen to rural communities throughout Scotland to the international stages of Covent Garden, La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera and the Opera De Bastille, as well as the annual festivals at Aix-en-Provence, Edinburgh and Glyndebourne.
He has assisted musical giants of the calibre of conductors William Christie, founder of Les Arts Florissants, and Sir Charles Mackerras, and composed embellishments for leading singers, notably in his role as vocal consultant to Opera Rara and Decca.
He is a frequent recitalist, and has performed before presidents and royalty. As an authority on vocal technique, he regularly guests on radio programmes, and is also in demand as a judge of prestigious singing competitions and a regular host of the metropolitan Opera Radio quiz.
He and soprano Rebecca Caine collaborated on a cabaret evening and album, entitled Leading Ladies, dedicated to the legendary stars of British musical theatre, of which he remains a great fan.
