During the last year, Ryan has worked at the Grange Festival on their production of Precipice, an outdoors promenade production by Sinéad O'Neill as well as performances in 'Opera under the stars' at the Minnack theatre, Penzance. This Summer Ryan is working for Garsington Opera on their productions of Le Comte Ory and Eugene Onegin, covering the solo peasant in the latter.
