Up-and-coming opera singer and Croxley resident Max Catalano is taking the music world by storm.
Now a classical baritone at The Guildhall, Max “never had exposure to [opera]” while growing up.
However, it was when he saw his teacher at St Clement Danes School performing that he started to become intrigued by the musical style.
This summer, Max will be appearing in The Flying Dutchman at Opera Holland Park, followed by performances at the Water Perry Opera Festival in Oxford this summer.
Now studying a masters in vocal studies, Max is hoping to become part of a young artist programme at an opera house.
While he is still early in his career, Max has already had a range of incredible show-stopping performances.
Last October, he travelled to India to debut a piece called The Creation in front of a large orchestra and choir.
He also led masterclasses where he helped to teach individuals more about music.
Speaking to CROXLEYnews, Max said: “It is great and something I didn’t think I would be doing even two years ago.
“It is an amazing artform no one my age really knows about, which is a shame.”
He also noted the importance of learning each language to help embody different characters.
He said: “It’s very exciting and I want to continue doing these things I never thought I could do before. I am very driven to continue working.”
