Our Soloists
Rose Johnson is a Soprano based in Birmingham and West Midlands and was a 2024/2025 Young Artist on the Serena Fenwick programme with British Youth Opera. Rose graduated in 2022 with a distinction from the Advanced Performance Diploma (APD) course at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. From the end of 2022 to recently, Rose has been in post as the Opera Outreach Officer at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and recently started as a vocal tutor at the Junior Department at RBC.
Timothy Divine (né Peters) is a Sheffield-based tenor whose work encompasses oratorio, concert performance, ensemble singing and classical recording. He performs extensively throughout the UK, with a particular interest in bringing classical music to new audiences through adventurous programming and collaboration across artistic disciplines. Alongside his solo engagements, Timothy works regularly as a classical session singer with RG Live, part of Sony Music Masterworks, and records and tours extensively with the Kantos Chamber Choir.
William Kyle is a baritone based in Manchester. This summer he performed Carmen with the Utopia Choir and Orchestra at the Salzburg Festival, and he has just returned from Dublin where he sang in Carmen again, this time performing with Irish National Opera. Earlier this year he made his debut with English Touring Opera, performing in their productions of The Gondoliers and Pagliacci. He will join English Touring Opera again in spring 2027 for their productions of Tosca and Orpheus and Eurydice. We look forward to welcoming William back to Wetheby, following his performance in Haydn's The Creation in 2025
