We are incredibly privileged to be welcoming renowned German-British bass-baritone Stephan Loges to the Faculty to lead a masterclass with students working on song, opera, and a capella choral music.

German-British bass-baritone Stephan Loges has appeared at opera houses including Staatsoper Berlin, La Monnaie Brussels, Opera national du Rhin, Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, Theater an der Wien and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and with orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Sapporo Symphony Orchestra, MDR-Sinfonieorchester, Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden, Orchestra dell'Accademia di Santa Cecilia, the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, National Symphony Orchestra in Washington and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

As well as a return to the role of Golaud Pelleas et Mélisande, he recently added to his repertoire the title roles of Oberto (his first major Verdi role) and Sweeney Todd, as well as Don Alfonso and Boris Berezovsky in the world premiere of The Life and Death of Litvinenko.

In the evening Stephan will be giving a song recital spotlighting forgotten and underrepresented repertoire, accompanied by Director of Performance Dr Maria Razumovskaya. This will take place at 5.30pm in the Recital Hall.
