Westminster Opera Co. was founded in 2008 by Guy Hopkins FRSA. WOCo. exists to provide a life-changing artists-in-residence programme for newly established singers, players and production team members in London and South West France with related cross-cultural exchange. WOCo. launched with a sell-out production of Acis and Galatea at the Château de Panloy in 2009 and has continued to produce highly successful performances every year since. WOCo. can't wait to be back at the Château this summer with the 2021 production of Hänsel und Gretel.

Guy Hopkins studied at Oxford University, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (London) and at Dartington International Summer School under Diego Masson. He has worked with Opera Brava, Bampton Summer Opera, and The Other Theatre Company in productions at The Lyric Hammersmith, Battersea Arts Centre and the Holywell Music Rooms.

He is Associate Conductor of the Camden Chamber Orchestra and has conducted concertos with pianist Joanna Macgregor. As Director of Music at Westminster School he has directed performance in St John's Smith Square and Westminster Abbey (Dream of Gerontius) working with soloists such as Rosalind Plowright and Donald Maxwell, as well as many co-productions with the Westminster School Drama Department including Weill's Street Scene, Mozart's Die Zauberflöte and Bernstein's West Side Story.
