Genre

Classical

Tim Mead has amassed an unusually long list of operatic and concert appearances since coming on the scene in the 2000s decade, performing with numerous major opera companies and ensemble directors. He made his operatic debut in the difficult role of Ottone in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea at France's Lyon Opera under William Christie. In 2004, Mead was heard on recordings for the first time in a pair of albums; one, Caro Amor, featured Baroque music, while the other, Ned Rorem: On an Echoing Road, was of a 20th century work. Mead has performed Baroque choral repertory not only with major early music groups but with conventional symphony orchestras. Mead has released several solo recordings, including Purcell: Songs and Dances (2018). In 2022, he was heard as part of the cast in Handel's opera Amadigi di Gaula, HWV 11, with the Early Opera Company.

Tim Mead has also released music as a member of The Prince Consort.
