Lloyd created many of the great tenor roles in late Victorian oratorio and concert works.

However, he would not be giving up tenor roles.

During his 14 seasons at the house, he gave 287 performances in 22 works, including most of the central tenor roles.

He also appeared from time to time in operatic tenor roles.

He continued to play principal tenor roles with the company until it closed in 1982.

Still, the opera certainly has a meaty leading tenor role.

That "Daphne" has two tough tenor roles is another reason it may seldom be produced.

He sang major tenor roles from 1951 to 1953 but left after a difference with the management and never returned.

The tessitura of these parts lies lower than the other tenor roles.

Naturally, he has been tempted into some of opera's heftier tenor roles, not always with success.
