Nicholas Heath

Founder and Artistic director

Nicholas has many years’ experience of the opera world.  After studying art and design, he chose to pursue a career in singing, which grew from the Montepulciano Arts Festival in the early 1980s and led in 1993 to a full time contract at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He formed his own opera company Opera A La Carte in 1993 where he has produced, directed and designed over 40 productions as well as devising masterclasses and education programmes within the UK and abroad.

Since 2004 he has regularly lectured in Opera Studies at Birkbeck, University of London. He left the Royal Opera House in 2006 to work on a project run by Streetwise Opera and to devote more time to Opera a la Carte.  In 2007 he participated in the Clore Cultural Leadership Programme and in 2009 joined Davies Music and Concert Directory International developing opera work for their singers.
