Voice Masterclass with Hera Hyesang Park
Hera Hyesang Park, soprano
6 NOV 2025
THURSDAY, 5:30PM - 7:30PM
Praised for her “radiant, seemingly effortless singing” (The Times) with “a sense of pure joy and excitement” (OperaWire), soprano Hera Hyesang Park is celebrated not only for her exquisite voice and stagecraft, but the profound ideas embodied in her work. Hailing from South Korea and trained at The Juilliard School, she blends her Korean roots and Western life experience in a cosmopolitan approach to life and art. Her lyric coloratura voice carries both immaculate technique and a seemingly infinite variety of tonal colors, combining in a fearless and captivating stage presence.
Park’s 2024-2025 season highlights include her debuts with the LA Philharmonic in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 led by Gustavo Dudamel, and with Boston Baroque in Haydn’s The Creation led by Martin Pearlman. She also performs with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, appears with Wiener Symphoniker in Mozart and Mahler, the Hungarian State Opera, the Orchestre National de Bordeaux Aquitaine, and takes on the role of Zerlina in Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Staatsoper Hamburg. She returns to the Metropolitan Opera as Pamina in The Magic Flute, performs in South Korea for a Gangneung album and returns to London’s Barbican Centre. In 2024, she released her second album, Breathe, on Deutsche Grammophon and performed repertoire from Breathe at 2024 Seoul Fashion Week and in recital at Seoul’s Lotte Concert Hall.
Park has appeared in opera roles at the Metropolitan Opera, Glyndebourne Festival, Opera de Paris, Berlin Staatsoper, Bayerische Staatsoper and Münchner Rundfunkorchester. She has also performed as a soloist with the New York Philharmonic and Los Angeles Opera. Her first album, I am Hera, was released on Deutsche Grammophon in 2020.
Park studied at Seoul National University before earning her two-year Artist Diploma in Opera Studies at the Juilliard School in 2015.
