Alumni

My time at NOS was invaluable. To have the opportunity to focus intensively on specific roles and languages, to work with movement directors and above all, to learn from some of the most experienced people in our profession, be they singers, directors, coaches or conductors at such a crucial stage in a young singer's career, meant that I was then able to go in to the profession feeling very well prepared.
