His North American appearances have included Hoffmann in The Tales of Hoffmann (Washington National Opera 2001), Gustavo in Un ballo in maschera (Boston Lyric Opera 2007), and Dick Johnson in La fanciulla del West (Op*ra de Montr*al 2008). In October 2010, he made his role debut as Radames in Verdi's Aida for Opera Queensland. The title role in Verdi's Don Carlos has been an important one in Gavin's career. He made his Royal Opera House debut in the role in 1996 when he took over from Roberto Alagna in Luc Bondy's production and sang it at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1998 as well as in productions at The New Israeli Opera, Opera North, and Minnesota Opera.
