I am a passionate admirer of the art form and artists.  Opera is enriching my life just like that of many others.

As an audience member one often follows the progress of a young singer for a while.  And once one feels that there is a well trained, carefully nurtured talent that is finally ready to increase its exposure to the general opera audience, the course, program or grant comes to an end and a now beloved artist disappears from the stage.  Alas I see many talented singers, that I would love to see in performance, disappear from public view.

A forum allowing classically trained singers to step up, show their abilities to opera professionals and the general public is desperately needed.  It would hopefully lead to excellent young artists being cast in the way they deserve.

I hope for Meister Music to be a success and thereby contributing to the success of many deserving artists.

I’m really impressed by the thought and energy that you have put into Meister Music.

At the Royal Philharmonic Society, we know from experience that the best singers have an endless capacity for learning.  They are constantly developing their technique and studying new repertoire and interpretation.  

Many singers have moments mid-career where a little support … could help them lift their performance to a whole new level.  It’s really hard to find this kind of help once you have left full time education.

We applaud our Chilcott Scholar, Elisabeth Meister, for her vision and commitment in setting up Meister Music to help her colleagues.
