“HGO offers a fantastic chance to develop as an opera performer: to improve one’s stagecraft and musicianship; to perform with an orchestra; to experience the pacing of a full run of shows; to be seen in performance by critics and potential future employers; and more…”
“HGO’s production teams are drawn from the professional operatic world and, having worked in prestigious opera houses themselves, never fail to create exciting and imaginative productions for their singers.”
“HGO’s reputation has grown considerably … attracting interest from opera critics and casting agents from many of the UK’s top opera companies. I can’t thank HGO enough for their support in my professional development.”
