“With glowing voice” - Das Opernglas ⭐️ A

“With glowing voice” - Das Opernglas ⭐️ A great start to the new year was seeing that our wonderful production of #falstaff was featured in @dasopernglas magazine (a first - and a milestone - for me!). So happy also to be mentioned alongside my fellow @sono_artists colleague Sehoon Moon as Fenton. But it’s bittersweet: I’m sorry to have to tell you all that due to COVID-19 related safety measures, the remaining two performances of Falstaff at the @malmoopera in #sweden have now been cancelled. So my journey with Nannetta takes a hiatus - but I’m sure I’ll return to her before long! Stay tuned for some more exciting announcements for 2021. I hope everyone’s new year is off to a fulfilling start!

🌟HOMECOMING 🌟 Two big season launches in Aus

🌟HOMECOMING 🌟 Two big season launches in Australia this past weekend mean I can final share the wonderful news that I will be returning to home to sing in 2021! In September I will join @operaqueensland for their 40th anniversary season alongside brilliant pianist @alexplaysthepiano for a lush recital of Ravel, Debussy, Szymanovski and more. In October I will appear in a chamber recital performing Händel, Bellini and Mahler with dear friends and long-time collaborators the @southerncrosssoloists1 at the Concert Hall @atqpac .
And before you ask - YES! There will be Melbourne dates! To be announced very soon 🌟
2020 will have been the first year since moving to #europe that I haven’t made it home, which will make this 2021 trip all the more special. Here’s hoping #2021 makes up for the global dumpster fire that was #2020!

I’m so sorry to share the news that the remaining 2020 Falstaff performances at @malmoopera in #sweden have been cancelled due to COVID concerns. Still, I’m extremely grateful to have already been able to do three performances and make my debut in the magical role of Nannetta. The cancellations this year have been devastating. I should be writing from Canberra, where today I would have been performing with @selbyandfriends on an #australian national #concert #tour . Instead I am #lockeddown at home. But I am safe and fed and healthy, and that is plenty right now. To those who are celebrating, happy Thanksgiving. (Turkey photos to come!) 🦃

Last week was a big one! On the day of my premiere

Last week was a big one! On the day of my premiere as Nannetta in Falstaff at the @malmoopera , I received the wonderful news that I had won a Bel Canto Award grant from the Joan Sutherland & Richard Bonynge Foundation. Earlier in the week, I was humbled by the decision of the siaa foundation - a brilliant organisation that has supported me since I was starting out in Europe - to extend the sponsorship contracts of all 16 of its artists. 2020 has been an insanely difficult year for many, and the arts industry has been hit particularly hard. Ongoing support like this, including the incredible work of @freelanceartistrelief means I can continue to function as an artist and spend my Covid-cancellation-related abundant spare time on professional development and honing my craft.
To all those who support the arts: Thank you.
.
.
Congratulations to my fellow Bel Canto Awardees!

Premiere tomorrow! 🤪🙃😍

I’m a lot happier about it than my face is showing here! In this scene Nannetta is distraught at the prospect of being married off as per her father’s wishes to the decrepit Dr Cajus. She plots with her mother and friends to teach Falstaff - and her jealous, controlling father - a life lesson.

In four days we open @beerlottede ‘s new product

In four days we open @beerlottede ‘s new production of Falstaff at the @malmoopera and I will make my role debut as Nannetta. The privilege to be working right now when theatres around the world are facing re-closure and new lock downs is not lost on me. Each time I hear the orchestra begin to tune I tear up. The spring lock down allowed me a long period to focus on this role and I feel ready, but I am still so nervous to perform a whole role on stage after so much time away. I’m also nervous about getting sick and not being able to do my job. This is such a strange time for our industry. But today I feel healthy, the aria went really well and I know I can bring it for the premiere. I’m so happy to tell you all that the opera will be streaming many of the performances! Check out the link in my bio for streaming tickets. My dates are Nov 7, 11, 14 & Dec 6, 10.

This weekend @alexanderjamesyork and I spent a mag

Garden party peephole ☘️ It’s been so lovely

Garden party peephole ☘️ It’s been so lovely to be able to see a small handful of friends in a socially distanced setting in our garden at home. As professional life slowly starts up again, I will be grateful for the reflection the lockdown period somewhat forced on many of us. I confronted some hard truths about my identity as an artist and how - and more importantly why - I want to keep going on this lyrical path. The next month takes me to many new places and the creative impulses are spurring me forward. I hope our industry recovers from this tumultuous time. I’m learning to appreciate the small things and the private joys of music making in the mean time.

Thank you to all the wonderful women who nominated

Thank you to all the wonderful women who nominated me for this! I’ve recently learned the origins of this movement spring from #turkey , where a grassroots effort to raise awareness of femicide & violence against women has gone global, spurned by the recent murder of #pınargültekin . In July alone 40 women have been murdered in Turkey, the vast majority by male relatives. Check out my stories for more information. If you’re able to show some $$ support, here are some women’s rights groups and women‘s shelters in Turkey with which you can connect. @kadincinayetlerinidurduracagiz @small.projects.istanbul @morcati_vakfi

Pictured here in the fragmental #opera OFFelia after #shakespeare ‘s Hamlet developed and premiered in #munich in 2015 with my friends and colleagues @till_kleine_moeller @nicole_marianna_wytyczak @ccclouuud Stefanie Fischer, Miriam Waldenspuhl, Udo Terlisten & Georg Beoshenz at the @augusteverding when I was a masters student. 📷 Jean-Marc Turmes. It feels like a lifetime ago, but it was one of the most rewarding and educational experiences of my performing career. We explored the many different representations of #ophelia in #classicalmusic and unpacked the patriarchal forces holding her down. The work felt relevant then and it’s relevant now.

Summer in the city ☀️
After five months of cancelled performances and little to no income, I’m beginning to focus my energy on future joys like my upcoming #debut in #sweden at @malmoopera and a #recital with my friend and wonderful composer @moritz_eggert in #munich #germany 💛 I can’t wait for those chances to get in front of an audience again and see the light in their eyes as they are filled with the magic that is live music. But the lockdown has also taught me how to appreciate the given moment. Returning to being incredibly thrifty with resources like in my student days. Appreciating that, even as a chronic asthma sufferer, I have my health. And realising that even without the performances my life is rich because there is still music in it.

Aside from Anita in high school, this was the most challenging dancing role I’ve had in my performing career. Valencienne in The Merry Widow at @operette.langenlois . I really had to get in shape and my ego struggled with not being as fit or capable as my amazing dancing colleagues (pictured here in the platinum wigs!), but our wonderful choreographer @selly.meier was so supportive and patient (and made me do planks!!) and I have to say on opening night I really felt like a triple ⭐️ !

Looking forward to getting back on the stage very soon... ❤️☺️💃🏻

In this calamitous time for our industry, it’s elating to see the tiny twinkling fairy light at the end of this dark tunnel. I’m counting my lucky starts today as I can finally share the news of my upcoming #swedish debut as Nannetta in #falstaff at @malmoopera in November 🧚‍♀️ The idea that I’ll once again tread the boards of an opera stage and spread my performance wings will help float me through this coming summer of lost dreams and cancellations.
I’m also ecstatic to be rejoining my #dreamteam #director / #conductor duo, @beerlottede and @sloane_steven for this show! I get to play the actual Queen of the Fairies. It’s going to be magical 🌺 💫🌸🦄🧚‍♀️👸🏻

CAREER INSIGHT SESSIONS In my now abundant spare t

CAREER INSIGHT SESSIONS In my now abundant spare time, I’d like to reach out and offer my insights to singers who might have questions about starting and maintaining a career in Europe, in the form of one-on-one (or two or three!) sessions. I’m not an expert, but I hope sharing my experiences can be helpful to you! Many young singers get in touch with me to ask questions about working around the world as a professional singer, from how to get an audition, to how to talk to agents, to how to find self-worth in a sea of rejection. Sometimes folks don’t have specific questions - it can be difficult to know what to ask - we can just have a chat and hopefully I can shine a light on some of the murkier spots.
Sessions can be as long as you need. For those with means, I would ask you pay for your session by making a small donation to @artistrelieftree - an incredible initiative started by friends and colleagues in the US to provide urgent financial aid to artists in need during this tumultuous time.
For those facing tougher monetary constraints the sessions will be free of charge. 💜
Send me a DM to start the conversation! .
And please feel free to share!
