Mastersingers Working Day with Sir John Tomlinson

Mastersingers Working Day with Sir John Tomlinson

at the Peacock Room, Trinity Laban, London on July 13th 2026

On 13 July, those in attendance had the rare opportunity to watch Sir John Tomlinson rehearse scenes from Wagner’s Die Walküre with the principal singers of Opera Forge’s production and conductor Kelvin Lim.

We’re delighted to share some of the precious moments from that special day with Opera Forge fans who couldn’t be there.

With special thanks to photographers Daryl Lucas and John Napier.
