Versatile and unique, Trovatori are a duo of classical singers who accompany themselves with guitars. They perform many of their own arrangements of classics from opera, operetta, musicals, films, Neapolitan and folk songs.

Trovatori (“wandering minstrels”) are Darren Clarke and Caroline Lester, who met while singing in the operas Death in Venice and Tosca at the Bregenz Festival in Austria. They formed Trovatori to present quality live entertainment encompassing the many genres of music for which they have a passion. From singing grand operatic numbers through to intimate folk songs, and from operetta to modern musicals, they are two of the most talented and exciting performers you are likely to see.

Darren studied at the Royal Northern College of Music. His singing career has taken him to opera houses and theatres in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, and Europe. He is also an accomplished lieder singer. Caroline studied composition at Durham University and reached the final stages of Channel 4’s Operatunity and ITV’s Search for a Soprano. She has performed numerous operatic roles and has appeared in many oratorios and concerts across the UK, Europe and the United States.
