About

Born in Blackpool in 1973, Alfred Giovanni Roncalli Boe’s first taste of performing was at the age of 14 when he joined an amateur operatic society with his sister. Little did he know that this hobby, first suggested by his mother as a way of channelling his abundant energy, would be the start of an intense love affair with the world of opera.
 
At the age of 17, Alfie started his working life in the TVR factory in Blackpool where he was well known to his colleagues for singing along to his beloved classical music. It was on one such occasion that he was overheard by a customer who was so impressed that he pointed Alfie in the direction of the D’Oyly Carte touring opera company auditions. The audition was successful and after a few tours, Alfie made the bold decision to move to London and embark upon his professional training at the Royal College of Music, the National Opera Studio and then the Royal Opera House Young Artists Programme.
 
Awards include: Tony Award for his La Boheme performance on Broadway; John McCormack Young Voice award; Lyric Tenor of the World Audience Award.
