Paul Hopwood started professional life teaching English; first at a comprehensive school in South London and eventually at Eton College. However, perhaps following an unguarded fit of bohemianism, he then left teaching to attend the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. He cut his operatic teeth at Glyndebourne, singing in the chorus, performing principal roles in studio productions and covering main stage roles.
