'Working on Acis and Galatea with Hurn Court Opera was one of the formative experiences of my training as an opera singer. The team sharpened my musicality, attention to detail and work ethic. As well as this, there was also a fantastic collegial spirit amongst the cast and staff. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.'
