World-renowned singing teachers Della Jones and Cesar Ulloa have been confirmed as the New Zealand Opera School’s 2017 Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation International Vocal Faculty tutors, as applications open for the school.

Della Jones, has had a stunning career as one of the world’s leading mezzo-sopranos, appearing in the U.S, Russia, Japan, Canada, U.K. and throughout Europe in over 120 operatic roles. She has worked with all the leading orchestras and conductors, including Leonard Bernstein, Sir Georg Solti, Sir Charles Mackerras, Sir Simon Rattle, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, and Sir Antonio Pappano. More recently Della has been doing tremendous work with students in London (National Opera Studio) and in Cardiff (Welsh International Academy of Voice).

Cesar, who studied voice with Thomas Hayward and Franco Corelli, has worked with a number of our NZOS alumni in San Francisco and is considered by many to be the best singing teacher in the world.

Alongside the amazing international tutors we have again secured an exceptional line-up of New Zealand talent including much loved tutor Isabel Cunningham, coaches Sharolyn Kimmorley, Terence Dennis and Bruce Greenfield, and director Sara Brodie.
