“Forrest, with her silvery tone, sounded exquisite in Purcell’s If Music Be the Food of Love...... and Forrest was breathtaking at the close as her voice floated heavenwards at the final mention of “the touches of sweet harmony.”
ABOUT
Hello and welcome to my website! I am a British classical soprano based in Hertfordshire. I’ve been blessed with some fantastic experiences over the past six months. I made my solo debut with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra in with Pete Harrison over the summer and then I had the pleasure of recording Jonathan Sheffer’s fabulous four short operas with the RSNO in September.
In October 2022 I made my TV debut in ‘the Gods of the Game - a football opera” on Sky Arts in association with Grange Park Opera. I played the lead role “Eva” who is a female football champion who leads the way in tackling corruption in the international game.
I have recently been lucky enough to work as a guest with the Royal Opera House’s Jette Parker Young Artist scheme on a number of occasions. In February 2022 I took part in a new music project with them celebrating international women’s day called “Lost and found” at St Pancreas station in London. I have also understudied with the Royal Ballet on two of their productions involving vocalists in the past year.
I love bringing new pieces of music to life and over the last couple of years I have sung a lot of contemporary music in some fabulous venues. I had the pleasure of working with Brett Dean at the Royal Festival Hall and the London Philharmonic Orchestra in “the Face of Nature” by Elliott Gyger and I was honoured to premier Ian Venables’s work for Viola, Piano and Soprano “Hermes Trismegistus.
I returned to the wonderful Garsington Opera to cover in the title role in “Dahlia” by Roxanne Panufnik last summer; a new opera telling the story of a young refugee girl as she starts a new chapter of her life in England.
Please do contact me for a biography or CV which includes my training, a list of prizes and previous concert/operatic work.
