Ben Escorcio is a young tenor based in Dublin. Since graduating with a distinction from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin, he has performed both domestically and abroad in a range of roles.

A regular performer with Irish National Opera and Northern Irish Opera, Ben has worked closely with both companies since 2018, appearing in large scale operas, regional tours, and studio productions. As a member of Irish National Opera’s newly established company chorus, Ben has been a mainstay of the company’s productions over the past twelve months, and his INO role debut came last season as the First Waiter in Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier. His other roles include Belfiore in Mozart’s La Finta Giardiniera, The Grandfather in Judith Weir’s Scipio’s Dream, Monostatos in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, Ruggero in Puccini’s La Rondine and Trout in Victor Herbert’s The Enchantress. An avid lover of oratorio and mass singing, he has also sung the solo roles in Handel’s Messiah, Haydn’s Creation and Mozart’s Requiem.
