View tours with Nicholas Wearne

This tour will be led by experienced ACE Tour Director and lecturer Nicholas Wearne, BA, MPhil, who currently holds the position of Senior Tutor at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Nicholas's career as a solo organist has taken him all over the world, and he is a former winner of the Poul Ruders Prize at the Odense International Organ Competition.

“Nick’s lectures were excellent… It is an enormous bonus to learn not just the plot outlines but analysis of them and analysis of the music, too. It all adds greatly to the enjoyment of listening to the opera itself. Nick is a master at delivering these talks, not just informative, but pitched at the right level for his audience, and given with a light touch”
