Somehow 9 months have flown past since I wrote my last news update. And there is some quite big news to share so apologies for my lack of communication!

This summer I am delighted to be touring with Opera Holloway once again, singing the role of Mimi in a 13 date tour.

 

We had our first two shows in July, and now there is a little break before we tour around the South East throughout September and October. The dates are all listed on my dairy page, and I would be delighted to see you there! The next performance is 30th August at Sutton House, Hackney.

As well as Mimi being a role debut, this tour has given me my first outdoor miked performance experience! on the 21st July the sun thankfully shone, and 130 people came the Leith Hill place for an opener performance. It was really magical, and I’m delighted we shall be repeating this format at Denbies Vineyard in Surrey on 7th September.

 

Now for the really big news. I am delighted to report that from 1st October I will be joining the International Opera School in Ghent for two years.

This means huge upheaval, but also so much excitement to work with an amazing team of artists and coaches. Our final round of auditions actually took place over a week at the school in Gent, which gave me a chance to meet many of the staff and get a feel for the course. I shall endeavour to be far more regular in my news updates from now on!

I will of course be returning to England for various concerts – I’m very excited to be reprising the role of Leila from Bizet’s Pearl Fishers in a concert performance with Bookham Choral Society in November.

Do let me know if you are attending any upcoming performances – it’s always a pleasure to see people in the audience!
