Tea with Netty: Tenor Hugo Hymas

In this episode, tenor Hugo Hymas welcomes Netty into his cosy cottage for a tea and chat. They explore how he adapts his voice when collaborating with others, the routines that help him prepare for a performance, and the vocal hero who inspires him.Former Rising Star of the Enlightenment, Hugo reflects on his lively upbringing in Cambridge, where childhood pantomimes fuelled his love for the stage. He talks about his recent virtuosic tenor appearance with the OAE in Handel's Solomon and shares his creative pursuits beyond singing, such as conducting. --Tea with Netty is the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea’ on the side of classical music you don’t normally hear.Available as Apple podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, TuneIn+Alexa
