Thomas Woodfield - Wolfgang Bigbad (The Three Little Pigs)

Originally from Christchurch, Thomas Woodfield studied Performance Voice (Countertenor) at the University of Auckland with Dr. Morag Atchison. During his university study, he won prizes and scholarships in singing, composition, and academic excellence. A highlight of his study was performing Tallis’ Lamentations of Jeremiah using an edition created from facsimiles of the original manuscripts from the Bodelian Library.

Thomas has been a member of the New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir, the New Zealand Youth Choir, the University of Auckland Chamber Choir, the Christchurch Cathedral Choir, and is a current member of New Zealand’s premiere chamber choir, Voices New Zealand.

Thomas’ solo performance highlights include Saint-Saëns’ Christmas Oratorio with the South Auckland Choral Society, performing as the Alto soloist for Händel’s Messiah with the Tauranga Civic Choir and the Bay Classic Soloists Orchestra, and Jack Body’s Carol to St Stephen with the New Zealand Youth Choir, which was broadcast live on the Australian Broadcasting Channel throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Thomas is delighted to be debuting with Toi Toi Opera in their 2024 production of John Davies’ The Three Little Pigs in the role of Wolfgang Bigbad.
