Nicholas Simpson

Nick has worked at the National Opera Studio since May 2019, first as Head of Finance & Operations before moving into his current role in January 2022. Previously he has worked at The Grange Festival as Company Manager and as General Director of Opera Lyrica. In 2018 Nick took a break from his career to study for an MBA at Oxford’s Saïd Business School as a Linbury Scholar.

Nick is passionate about the power of music to change lives, which is why he’s a Trustee of Into Opera. He is also a Director of the Wandsworth BID.

Nick’s love of singing and of opera started when he was two; hearing Don Giovanni was the first time he’d been silent for two hours. He developed this as a music and choral scholar at school and university and still sings with a chamber choir in London.
