Acclaimed for his “extraordinary emotional clarity” (Opera Magazine) and “pure, luminous tenor voice” (The Guardian), Kieran White is a British tenor known for his expressive interpretations of Baroque and early music. He has performed with many of Europe’s leading ensembles and orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, Les Talens Lyriques, and Amsterdam Baroque, under conductors such as Ton Koopman and Christophe Rousset.

Recent highlights include his New York debut in Handel’s Messiah at David Geffen Hall with the New York Philharmonic, his appearance in the critically praised recording of Lully’s Atys with Les Talens Lyriques for Château de Versailles Spectacles, and a starring role in the Monteverdi Festival’s one-man show La musica e le ragioni dell’anima. Opera Magazine called his performance “a masterclass in Baroque affect, moving fluidly between recitative, song, and speech.”

On the opera stage, Kieran has taken on major roles across Europe — including Castor in Rameau’s Castor et Pollux (Warsaw Chamber Opera), Hippolyte in Hippolyte et Aricie, and Damon in Acis and Galatea — and is frequently praised for his clarity of diction and poetic delivery.

Upcoming engagements include The Fairy Queen with Vox Luminis at Teatro Real in Madrid, Mathan in Handel’s Athalia with Amsterdam Baroque, and Messiah with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C.

Whether on international stages or in intimate chamber settings, Kieran brings “refined musical intelligence and rare emotional immediacy” (Forum Opéra) to every performance — making him one of the most distinctive tenors of his generation.
