With a voice described as ‘bell clear and beautiful’ (The Stage), English countertenor Francis Gush is a graduate of the Royal College of Music under the tutelage of Lawrence Zazzo and Veronica Veysey-Campbell.

Operatic engagements include Athamas (cover) (Semele / Handel) with Opéra de Lille, Arsace (Partenope / Handel) with Hampstead Garden Opera which The Stage reviewed as ‘a blow-away performance’, and Ottone (L’incoronazione di Poppea / Monteverdi). His performance at the Wigmore Hall with Steven Isserlis was described as ‘a show-stealing turn’ (The Arts Desk).

Francis completed a season as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, performing as the solo singer in John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi.
