About Kirsty

Kirsty is a highly experienced opera singer, an entertaining performer, and a specialist funeral singer.
Singer (mezzo soprano)
Farnborough

I'm a highly experienced opera singer, an entertaining performer, and a specialist funeral singer. In 2009, I created Singers for Funerals, to provide professional soloists for any type of funeral service; church, crematorium, burial ground. During 2017, we have helped more than 50 families celebrate the life of a loved one with wonderful music, beautifully sung. Back in the 1990s, I founded Hatstand Opera, one of the UK’s most loved touring opera companies. Almost 25 years on, we're still presenting our signature opera highlight shows to sell-out audiences, at all types of occasions. I'm a member of Equity, I was a founder member of the Classic FM Consumer Panel, and a Director of the Opera and Music Theatre Forum for several years. I have also shown my pedigree Field Spaniel at Crufts.

We are very impressed with the singing and your professionalism. Once again, thank you for helping us out, the family were very pleased and it did create a very personal touch to the funeral.

Everybody was very impressed, again, with your performance and I would like to add to that how impressed I was with your help and advice throughout. It certainly helps to have professionals to add a poise to the singing and I know it helps to swell the congregations efforts in the hymns.
