About Benjamin Russell

Genre

Classical

After cutting his teeth in the ensemble of Germany's Hessisches Staatstheater, baritone Benjamin Russell has appeared on opera and concert stages in that country and throughout the British Isles. His repertoire is broad, covering works by the masters (Wagner, Mozart, and Puccini) but also new works, including premiere productions of operas by Frank Schwemmer and Søren Nils Eichberg. In 2011, Russell appeared in an Aldeburgh Festival production of Britten's The Rape of Lucretia; a recording of that performance was released in 2013, marking Russell's recording debut and earning a Grammy Award nomination. In 2024, he joined mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty and pianist Finghin Collins on the album Charles Villiers Stanford: Cushendall - Irish Song Cycles, which included several premiere recordings.
