Marco Borsato takes singing lessons from former Eurovision participant Esther Hart

Marco Borsato has begun taking vocal lessons from former Eurovision contestant and vocal coach Esther Hart. Following his acquittal in a morality case, the singer is aiming to revive his career and is cautiously looking toward a potential return to the stage in the coming years.

Dutch singer Marco Borsato has resumed vocal training with former Eurovision participant Esther Hart. Hart, who represented the Netherlands in the 2003 contest with the song One More Night, now works as a vocal coach for various prominent local artists. She confirmed to Privé that she is currently tutoring the 59-year-old singer, though she declined to provide specific details regarding the frequency or progress of the lessons.

Borsato recently mentioned his vocal training to the media following a court hearing in Utrecht. The singer is currently navigating the legal aftermath of a high-profile morality case, having been acquitted of the initial charges. He has expressed a cautious desire to return to his music career, potentially eyeing a comeback as early as 2027 once his remaining legal disputes regarding legal expenses are fully resolved. For now, he remains focused on professional recovery as he awaits the conclusion of his outstanding litigation.
