INDEPENDENT OPERA were delighted to launch the first of their annual Wigmore Hall Scholars’ Recitals. Supporting the next generation of talent during their final year of training, Independent Opera presented their 2016-17 Voice Scholars, launching their professional careers. Hailing from Slovenia, Australia, England and Scotland, the Scholars joined forces with exciting young pianist James Baillieu.
