Philip Hesketh, the Musical Director of Opera Vera, has a very busy and varied musical life. He also currently holds the musical directorships of the French Festival Opéra de Baugé, The London Children’s Ballet, the West London Sinfonia, and The Norfolk Symphony Orchestra and makes regular appearances as guest conductor in Britain and abroad. He has an immense knowledge of orchestral music but is always looking forward to the next new piece. Fortunately, the richness of this repertoire means there is an inexhaustible supply of these.
