Soprano soloist, Catherine Hamilton
Catherine was the first singer to be awarded a Junior Exhibitioner’s scholarship in the history of the Royal Academy of Music at the age of ten. After gaining a BA Hons from Southampton University she returned to the RAM on the post-graduate opera course and was awarded the Diploma of Advanced Studies and an LRAM with Distinction. During her time there she was chosen as the soloist for an official recording for HRH Prince William.

Catherine is a versatile performer whose international career has encompassed opera, oratorio, recitals, and musical theatre. She made her West End debut at The Queen’s Theatre with the acclaimed production of Masterclass and toured Germany as Christine in “Das Phantom der Opera”. Her many operatic roles have taken her throughout Europe and closer to home for Opera Holland Park’s summer season and Devon Opera.

Catherine is in great demand as an oratorio soloist and has sung extensively for choirs and choral societies across Europe in major venues.
