Allan James ClaytonMBE (born 1981) is a British tenor singer.[1]
Clayton studied at the King's School, Worcester as a chorister at Worcester Cathedral,[1] at St John's College, Cambridge as a choral scholar, and at the Royal Academy of Music in London.[2] He was a BBC New Generation Artist from 2007-09[3] and winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society Singer Award in 2018.[4]
Clayton was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2021 Birthday Honours for services to opera.[5]
In 2022, he starred in a Royal Opera House production of Peter Grimes which was hailed as one of the finest opera productions in the UK for decades. The Guardian said "Clayton makes a heartbreaking, supremely lyrical Grimes, singing with remarkable sensitivity and great refinement of tone"[6] and the FT described him as "vocally outstanding in the role, powerful, sensitive and dealing with its idiosyncratic vocal challenges as if they are no problem at all".[7]
