Gerrit Paul Groen

“Magnificent and expansive.” “Commanding.” “Rich and deeply expressive.” “Effortlessly masters a whole register of timbres.” In addition to his singing, dramatic bass Gerrit Paul Groen is often singled out for his ability to bring to life a wide range of characters. His Hunding was “brutal and commanding” while Tommy, the eponymous A Kind Man, was “a portrayal of warmth and radiant goodness”. As The Officer in Philip Glass’s In the penal colony he “captured the character’s devastation” and in Sarastro he brought a “compelling intensity.” In the 2023/24 season Gerrit Paul Groen sings Hunding and covers Wotan for the Regents Opera Ring Cycle in London, sings Polizeikommissar and covers Baron Ochs in Der Rosenkavalier for Saffron Opera Group, Wanderer in Siegfried for the Edinburgh Player
