Hurn Court Opera

Our three wonderful singers for The John Seldon Masterclass - Samuel Horton (tenor), Joyce Wong (soprano) and Alex Hardy (bass baritone) with Francesca Lauri (piano), HCO Music Director, Lynton Atkinson and Artistic Director, Joy Robinson.

Ever wondered what it's like to train as an opera singer? Our inspiring classical singing masterclass this Sunday gives you the opportunity to find out, as three promising young performers work through a programme of music under the expert guidance of HCO's Musical Director, Lynton Atkinson and Artistic Director, Joy Robinson.

The masterclass offers a valuable opportunity to observe the development of young vocal talent and aims to share with singers and audience alike the vocal, dramatic and artistic responses that inform casting and performance decisions in HCO's stage productions.

Our three fabulous vocalists this week are Samuel Horton (Tenor), Joyce Wong (Soprano) and Alex Hardy (Bass Baritone) - you can find out more about them and book for this weekend's masterclass here: https://www.hurncourtopera.org/johnseldonmasterclass-2025
