Directed by Martin Duncan, and conducted by Chris Moulds, this semi-staged production features scenes from operas including Le nozze di Figaro, Idomeneo, Die Zauberflöte, Don Giovanni, Guillaume Tell, La cenerentola, and Il turco in Italia. They are joined by Jonathan Rainey Reid as Assistant Director.

The National Opera Studio is a world leader in opera training. Based in London, it provides nine months of intensive training to singers and répétiteurs who have the potential to become the leading artists of their generation.
