In 2015/16, Elliott Carlton Hines became a member of the Gerard Mortier International Opera Studio at the Salzburger Landestheater, where he later sang as a permanent member before joining the Staatsoper Stuttgart in the 2020/21 season as a full ensemble member.

Over the years, he has built up an extensive repertoire with many specialist roles, including Masetto/Don Giovanni, Prosdocimo/Il turco in Italia, Schaunard/La Bohème, Sparbüchsen Bill/Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny, Spalanzani/Hoffmann's Erzählungen, Il Conte/Le Nozze di Figaro, Kilian/Der Freischütz, Herr Eiler/Der Schauspieldirektor, Papageno/Zauberflöte, Die Standuhr und Der Kater/L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, Kirschbaumträger/Die Verurteilung des Lukullus, Sythyre und Cythéron/Platée und Testo/Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda.

In concert, Elliott Carlton Hines sang the bass solos in Bach's ‘St Matthew Passion’ and ‘Christmas Oratorio’ at the Oregon Bach Festival as well as the role of Lucifero in Handel's ‘La Resurrezione’ under the direction of William Christie.
