Biography

Opera, new music and performance.

British tenor Benjamin Hayward Segal performs across classical and contemporary music. A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the National Opera Studio, he has appeared at leading venues including Glyndebourne Festival Opera, where he made his debut in Die Zauberflöte under Sir Charles Mackerras, and Wigmore Hall, and worked with companies such as Opera North and Scottish Opera. He has performed at the Aldeburgh Festival in a fully staged production of Britten’s Albert Herring. Known for his strong acting presence and assured stagecraft, he brings a commanding and expressive performance style to both live and screen work. Now based between Australia and the UK, his repertoire ranges from Bach and Beethoven through to new and experimental music, with performances including the Festival of Voices, and a focus on collaborative and contemporary performance.
