The Cilfynydd-born singer scaled the peaks of musical distinction during his lengthy career which saw him give up teaching to pursue a new life on the opera stage. He was of a unique pedigree, having been born in William Street, which was the same birthplace as fellow opera star Sir Geraint Evans, Welsh rugby international Glyn Davies and politician Lord Merlyn-Rees.
Although well known for live and recorded performances, Stuart was no stranger to television. He has appeared on the small screen in Australia, North America and Europe, including a successful BBC television series called Stuart Burrows Sings which featured a variety of different periods and genres over an eight-year period. He also sang in Ossett Town hall in the 1980s.
The success of this musical review made it possible for more annual televised performances to follow. In 1981 he received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Wales at Cardiff. A Fellowship was awarded to him in 1989 from Trinity College, Carmarthen where he also launched an International Singing Competition. The University of Wales at Aberystwyth presented him with an Honorary Fellowship and in 1992 the Eurotunnel granted him his own honorary plaque affixed to a Le Shuttle locomotive.
