HAZEL
NEIGHBOUR
SOPRANO
Hazel Neighbour is an operatic soprano based in London. Hazel is on the Royal Academy of Music Opera course studying with Nuccia Focile and Jonathan Papp, generously supported by the Maria Callas Award and the Josephine Baker Trust.
Hazel Neighbour’s L’Ensoleillad also had the vocal allure and colour to really make something of this role – particularly in the upper-reaches of the role where she was bewitching and beguiling in equal measure.
