BIOGRAPHY
Eliran recently completed his postgraduate studies at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, graduating with Distinction and later holding the Junior Fellowship in Voice for the 2023/24 academic year. Worldwide in scope, his artistic journey flourishes through collaborations with esteemed institutions including Garsington Opera, Hampstead Garden Opera, the London International Festival of Early Music, Cambridge Handel Opera Company, the London Handel Festival, Tête-à-Tête Opera Festival, Abu Gosh Festival, Barock Vokal Akademie, and Opera Prelude.
Operatic roles include Akhnaten in Glass's Akhnaten, Oberon in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Ottone in Handel's Agrippina, Unulfo in Handel’s Rodelinda, Celso in Cesti's Il Tito, Ottone in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea, Attaché in M.G.E & Lavender's I'm cleaning! I'm cleaning!, Baba the Turk in Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, Serse in Handel’s Serse, Radamisto in Handel’s Radamisto, Observer 3 in Paterson's The Angel Esmeralda (cover), and Fate in Judith Weir's Miss Fortune (cover). He will join Grange Park Opera in Krishna in 2026.
Showcasing exceptional versatility on the concert stage, Eliran's commanding performances navigate a dynamic spectrum of compositions, spanning from cherished early music to daring contemporary pieces. Alongside celebrated works by Bach and Handel, his repertoire elegantly expands to embrace lesser-known compositions by Hasse, Carlo G, Caresana and more. Elevating his portfolio with modern vibrancy, Eliran also interprets lieder and 20th-century music, while embracing the exciting role of debuting avant-garde compositions. In 2024, he was selected for the Wigmore Hall French Song Exchange under Dame Felicity Lott, making debuts at Wigmore Hall, London, and Salle Cortot, Paris.
He has had the honour of refining his craft through masterclasses with Alison Buchanan, Michael Chance, Yvonne Kenny, Dame Emma Kirkby, Dame Ann Murray, Andreas Scholl, Chen Reiss, and Dame Felicity Lott.
Nurtured from a young age, Eliran's musical journey took a significant turn towards the piano at the age of thirteen, ultimately blossoming into an extension of his artistic expression. Graduating with distinction in second study piano at Guildhall, his keyboard repertoire traverses the works of masters such as Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Mozart, Prokofiev, Ravel, and more.
In his pursuit of excellence, Eliran is incredibly grateful for the invaluable support he receives from a constellation of patrons who believe in his artistic vision. Among these esteemed benefactors are the Opera Awards Foundation, America-Israel Cultural Foundation, Dr Winkler, Help Musicians UK, Israel Vocal Arts Institute, Josephine Baker Trust and Ronen Foundation.
