Randall has become a sought-after artist by some of the world’s most esteemed opera houses.  In December of 2019 he made a spectacular debut at the Royal Opera House as Apollo in Britten’s Death in Venice, singing to sold-out audiences at Covent Garden in David McVicar’s acclaimed production.  Randall then joined the roster of the Metropolitan Opera to cover performances of Handel’s Agrippina and returned to the Metropolitan Opera in 2022 for performances of Eurydice by Aucoin.  In May of 2022 he made another strong debut at the Bayerische Staatsoper singing the role of Michael in a new production of Haas’ micro-tonal opera Thomas.  Randall’s debut solo album with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, was released by Signum Classics in September 2022, entitled The Crown: Heroic Arias for Senesino.  The recording earned high praise from many reviewers; “Scotting lets loose a ravishing vocalism, deep colours, muscular core…Scotting’s messa da voce is mesmerising in music about love and despair alike” **** BBC Music Magazine.

A dramatically persuasive and intensely musical interpreter, Randall is recognised for winning over audiences with his stunning vocal beauty, stylish singing, and charismatic stage presence.  A second solo album of lute and folk songs that Randall recorded with Grammy award winning lutenist Stephen Stubbs in Los Angeles was released by Signum in February 2023, which also received broad acclaim.  In May of 2023 he returns to Germany to sing Adonis at Staatsoper Hamburg in the world premiere of Sciarrino’s Venere e Adone.  Upon receiving rave reviews for his singing and acting as the Refugee in Flight at Seattle Opera in 2021, Randall returns to Seattle in October of 2023 to perform the role of Ruggiero in Handel’s Alcina.


Randall’s past engagements have linked him to major US and EU opera houses and orchestras, including the Metropolitan Opera, London’s Royal Opera House, Bayerische Staatsoper, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Seattle Opera, Santa Fe Opera, the New York Philharmonic, Michigan Opera Theatre, Italy’s Spoleto Festival, the Göttingen Handel Festival, and others.  In concert, he has sung at diverse venues including Carnegie Hall, Boston Baroque, National Sawdust, Edinburgh’s Saint Cecilia's Hall, Hobart Baroque, the Christchurch Intl Arts Festival, and London’s National Gallery.  Randall was featured singing the music of JC Bach and discussing Mozart on the BBC documentary Mozart’s London Odyssey.  Additional roles for which he has received acclaim include the leads in Handel's Rinaldo, Orlando, and Giulio Cesare; Britten's A Midsummer Nights Dream, and Gluck's Orfeo.

Alongside more traditional repertoire, Randall plunges headfirst into all manner of musical genre, regularly singing art song, new commissions, modern cantatas, and even cabaret.  He has performed in staged versions of Xenakis’ The Oresteia, Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, and Maxwell Davies’ Eight Songs for a Mad King.  He has improvised with Bobby McFerrin at Carnegie Hall and performed with the provocative burlesque troupe, Company XIV, in a virtuosic spectacle singing opera, folk, and pop standards, while strip-teasing in stiletto platform boots.

Randall trained at the Royal College of Music in London, the Juilliard School in New York, and as a Fulbright Scholar at the Liszt Academy in Budapest.  He made his leading operatic debut at Spoleto’s Festival dei due mondi as Teseo in Vivaldi’s Ercole su’l Termodonte (available on DVD) with the ensemble Il Complesso Barocco.  Randall’s discography also includes the title role in Antonio Caldara’s oratorio Santo Stefano primo re dell'Ungheria and as the soloist in a modern cantata for chorus and countertenor entitled Dive: A Water Music.

THE CROWN: Heroic Arias for Sensino | 'Fra l’orror d’atra foresta' by Giovanni Antonio Giaj.
In his debut solo album, countertenor Randall Scotting explores the versatile voice of one of the most famed singers of all time, the superstar castrato Senesino.  Collaborating with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and conducted by Baroque specialist Laurence Cummings, it features the music of seven highly praised but entirely neglected composers, including 13 arias that are heard here for the first time in nearly 300 years.
