After a career as an international opera singer, I now harness the power of my 15 years on stage to help companies find their voice, connect with their employees and clients, and create memorable experiences.
Based in Lyon, France, with an international client base, I am the founder of Mission Opéra, a dual project with two main focuses. First, through Mission Opéra Business, I offer unique interventions (keynote lectures, workshops and seminars, in French and English) on themes such as engagement, potential, and high performance. I am also a vocal coach, dedicated to enhancing impactful communication.
Secondly, as the Artistic Director of the charity Mission Opéra France, I lead innovative educational and artistic projects aimed at helping disadvantaged youth gain essential skills for success in life. MOF, a nationwide initiative, has already impacted over 500 young people in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
I studied at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London. I won first prize at the Emmy Destinn Award in Prague and was selected as an artist by the renowned Young Classical Artists Trust. I performed as a soloist (soprano) on stages such as London’s Royal Opera House, Scottish Opera, and Opéra National de Lyon, where I sang for 10 years.
Three committed and accomplished soloists – Caroline MacPhie, Damien Thantrey and Rupert Enticknap – move like priests or mentors among us, reciting and reflecting.
Caroline MacPhie portrays in this version a Glasha who is a cleaner rather than a servant. Her diction is executed effectively and she carries her high notes well whilst she toils away…
One must also mention the performance of the beautiful Caroline MacPhie in the (far too brief) role of a young girl…
Caroline MacPhie portrays a mischievous Barbara with clear high notes…
…as Susanna, Caroline MacPhie reveals a clear soprano and excellent enunciation in a performance that proves to be just as sharp as the character.
The lovely, sweet toned Papagena, Caroline MacPhie…
…Caroline MacPhie, Rupert Enticknap and Damian Thantrey, all excellent.
…the quality of the three ladies, Caroline MacPhie, Heather Newhouse and Dorothea Spilger, who bring grace and intelligence to the vocal line and the text.
The Queen’s daughter, the cause of the friction between the Queen and Sarastro, was portrayed beautifully by Caroline MacPhie. She brought to the role a lovely mixture of obedience to her mother, and the emerging desires of a bright young woman.
On stage, Caroline MacPhie did excellent work… both vocally and dramatically…
