Opera Scenes 2022. Had the best time playing ‘Julia Bertram’ in Johnathan Dove’s Mansfield Park. Couldn’t have asked for a better group of singers to perform every night with. It’s been a hell of a fortnight, but man was it a spectacular final show tonight ❤️

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

What a spectacular opening night of ‘Faust’ with Arcadian Opera tonight. Can’t wait to perform our next show tomorrow and sing this beautiful music once again 🌹⭐️

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

@NYMTuk’s ‘Ragtime’ is a show filled with beautifully agonising and heart wrenching performances. So so proud of all my beautiful friends, especially Zolani who played an exquisite Coalhouse Walker Jr. I really haven’t stopped thinking about this show all evening…

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

A Kiss for Cinderella. Working again with @NYMTuk on this new musical has been such a privilege and joy, especially whilst doing it with the most beautiful cast, crew and creative team. Baroness Bodie, your misunderstood evil stepmother-ness will be sorely missed ✨

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Wow! What an amazing last performance of ‘Les Arts Florissants’ at the ‘Playbox Theatre’. I’ve had such a phenomenal time playing ‘L’architecture’. Opera is such a unique beautiful art, and one that I’m falling in love with more & more everyday! So, bring on 3rd year 🥰

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Very honoured to have been asked back to @DowneHouse to be the guest soloist at this years Founders Weekend Prima Voce Concert. Over the 7 years I was at Downe, @DowneHouseMusic gave me all the musical tools I carry with me today at conservatoire & I will be eternally grateful.

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Soooo lovely seeing you today! Been too long. See you very soon ☺️

[Claire Bessent @KerleyBess]

So wonderful to see my ex-pupil @HackmanKatie singing as guest soloist this evening at Downe House. She sounded wonderful and I felt very proud. A gorgeous concert! @CharlotteExon

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Had the best time performing my first principal role as ‘L’architecture’ in Charpentier’s “Les Arts Florissants”. I got Covid the day before our opening night however by luck I was negative for final show! Can’t wait to do for a final time at Lemington’s Playbox Theatre on 26/06

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Just received the final script for NYMT’s production of ‘A Kiss For Cinderella’ and have loved reading through it! Super excited to dive into the role of Baroness Bodie AKA Evil Stepmother very soon! 🤍🤍

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

@DowneHouseMusic @CharlotteExon @DowneHouse This is AMAZE!

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

I am thrilled to have been cast as ‘L’architecture’ in RBC’s Summer Opera “Les arts florissants”. Excited and very nervous to embark on learning my first ever principal role in an opera (especially a Baroque Opera)!! 🎶

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Thank you @yellowbellyfoto 🕺🏼

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Halfway through our run of ‘Banished’ and couldn’t be enjoying it more. Feel so privileged and lucky to be able to perform this stunning opera every night! 😇

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

What a tech week! I’m so proud to be part of this opera ‘Banished’, with my stunning cast mates. It’s my first opera and has challenged me so much as an actor and singer, so come along next week, because I can assure you it’s unlike anything you have ever seen! Link in my bio ☺️

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

So nice to be singing with a DH choir once again, and in Birmingham!! 🤩

[Dr Charlotte Exon @CharlotteExon]

3 generations of 6th Form Heads of Music @DowneHouseMusic! Couldn’t be more proud of these 3 AMAZING musicians! Katie (2019) and Alex (2021) are at @BirmCons and our current Head of Music, Antonia, is applying to study music at University. Bravissimo! #musictransforminglives

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

Extremely sad to hear of Edmond’s passing. Edmond had been such an inspiration to me in Suffolk over the last 5 years, helping me audition for conservatoire, and giving me such valuable advice that I still hold with me today. Will forever be so grateful.

[Katie Kim Hackman @HackmanKatie]

And just like that it’s over…

This show has truly taken my heart. Thank you to each and everyone of you who made this show into what it became. It has been such a privilege and joy to work with such special group of actors, crew and creative team! All the love 🤠 @NYMTuk

[James Robert Moore @James_R_Moore]

The professionalism and dedication the 31 young actors in our cast have shown has been nothing short of astounding - with 13-year-old Charlie Wright leading the cast with fearless energy.

@NYMTuk showcases stars of the future and I feel so very lucky to have been a part of it.
