Stephen has a BMus (Hons) from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, followed by Postgraduate study at the Royal Northern College of Music.
Prior to joining WNO, Stephen worked as a freelance opera singer and with choirs and choruses mainly within the UK.
Stephen’s personal highlights with WNO so far have been the trips abroad: 'Savonlinna, Muscat and Hong Kong are places that I have been with WNO, and the opportunity to explore somewhere new and bring our repertoire to fresh audiences is always very special.'
Away from WNO, Stephen enjoys cycling, watching films, playing guitar and writing and recording music.
