We're delighted to welcome Emma Pearson to the University to teach some of our voice students in a masterclass.

Emma Pearson was principal artist at the Hessisches Staatstheater, Wiesbaden, in Germany from 2005 until 2014. During this time, she performed over 30 roles for the company, including the title role in Lucia di LammermoorZerbinetta (Ariadne auf Naxos), Woglinde, Gerhilde and Waldvogel in Wagner’s Ring Cycle, Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), Adele (Die Fledermaus) and Norina (Don Pasquale) to critical acclaim. On her departure from the company, the State of Hessen awarded Emma the honorary title of Kammersängerin. She is the youngest opera singer to have ever received this title.
