John Mitchinson (tenor)

John Mitchinson (born 31 March 1932 in Blackrod) is an English operatic tenor. He made his début singing the role of Jupiter in Handel's "Semele". From 1972 to 1978, he was associated with the Sadler's Wells opera company; during that time, he created the role of the Poet in Joseph Tal's opera "Massada" 967. In 1978 he joined the Welsh National Opera, with whom he worked for four years. Able to sing a variety of roles, he was perhaps most notable for his portrayals of Peter Grimes and Tristan.
