To be a classical singer is straightforward: all you need is the strength of an athlete, a top actor’s timing, a dancer’s grace, impeccable foreign languages – oh, and flawless control of your voice. Hexham-based Samling, the UK’s leading promoter of emerging opera singers, presents its latest Masterclass, taking you behind the scenes to show how classical stars are born. Eight young professionals are put through their paces by world-class artists, before showing in concert how they’ve learned from the masters.
