Every month, OperaVision sets out to meet young artists around the world and give them a platform by streaming new performances, documentaries, concerts, masterclasses and podcasts. This time we are off to London, where National Opera Studio - the leading opera training organisation in the United Kingdom - welcomed acclaimed British mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly to lead a masterclass with three young artists.
