Secret Opera www.secretopera.com/Secret Opera has a really exciting approach to their prodductions, there is often an unusual angle. They often put on "Secret Opera" evenings, where the audience gradually finds out which opera is being put on by a set of clues being released in the days leading up to the performance. go and experience a performance yourself, you'll enjoy it! (I started working with Secret Opera in July 2016 and will appear in three of their upcoming productions during October-December 2016)

The NOS is engaged by Arts Council England and the UK's leading Opera Companies - English National Opera, Glyndebourne, Opera North, the Royal Opera House, Scottish Opera and Welsh National Opera to provide professional training of the highest quality for singers and repetiteurs who have the potential to become the leading artists of their generation. I have had the pleasure of being a participant on the NOS Opera Intensive Course twice, in August 2013 and June 2015 and learned an incredible amount! On the Intensive course, you get to study with a selection of their tutors in a series of masterclasses, lessons, staging workshops and coaching sessions for an entire week. The tutors are all really amazing, and incredibly positive and encouraging. I couldn't recommend the course enough!
