General | | Biography: | One of Britain's greatest singers, Robert Lloyd became the Principal Bass at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1972. He has since sung an enormous range of repertoire with the company and is now their senior artist. He was the first British bass to sing the title role in 'Boris Godunov' at Covent Garden and made history when he sang the role with the Kirov Opera in St Petersburg. He sings the great roles of his repertoire in Paris, Salzburg and San Francisco and for many years has had a particularly close association with the Metropolitan Opera, New York. He has a vast discography of over seventy audio and video recordings. In the 1991 New Year's Honours List, Robert Lloyd was created a Commander of the British Empire (CBE).
Robert Lloyd collaborated with the artist Pip Woolf and pianist Julius Drake in 1999 to produce a recital / exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art in Wales of Schubert's 'Winterreise'. This subsequently led to the production of a CD/book complete with paintings, drawings and his personal score of the music.
