OPERA EVENTS
“Divas & Scholars makes learning about this most complex of art forms a richly enjoyable pleasure.”Rupert Christiansen, Opera Critic, The Telegraph “Divas & Scholars is an excellent project! A nice opportunity to meet talented classically trained singers. ”Jason Orange, Take That “An entertaining and informative way to get inside the world of opera.”Danielle de Niese, Glyndebourne
Welcome to our opera network.
Since 2011 Divas & Scholars has created entertaining and informative opera events with live performances in glamorous locations. We introduce you to celebrated opera insiders who share their experiences of this compelling and multi-layered art form. You’ll have the opportunity to meet opera stars in person and to talk to them over dinner. We arrange insights and highlights events, master-classes, opera parties and courses and more recently opera tours.
We have hosted speakers and singers including Glyndebourne’s Danielle de Niese, the former Resident Director of the Royal Opera House John Copley CBE, the conductors Edward Gardner OBE and Sir Mark Elder. We have enjoyed fabulous performances from star tenors including Charles Castronovo, Jesus Leon and Michael Spyres, sopranos Claire Booth, Nelly Miricioiu, Rosalind Plowright and many other great singers.
We are proud to present many young opera singers and rising stars of the future giving them new performance opportunities and have collaborated with the Royal Northern College of Music and the National Opera Studio.
