BIOGRAPHY

I use opera as a vehicle to help my clients create deeper engagement, empower young talent, and enhance public speaking skills.

After 15 years as a professional opera singer, I transitioned to the corporate world, using my expertise in artistic high performance to support a diverse, international client base. I am currently based in Lyon, France and speak fluent French, German and English. In 2017 I founded Mission Opéra, with two main areas of focus:

 

Mission Opéra Business

For several years I have worked with companies, addressing themes such as engagement, human potential and high performance. My international client base includes companies such as Accor, ARaymond, Chanel, Clarins, Envi, Fresenius Kabi, Louis Vuitton and Veolia. My keynote lecture, “Engage, inspire and thrive through opera,” invites companies to rediscover motivation and purpose. Through my Metronome Method™️ , I deliver a structured, four-act approach that offers concrete strategies to strengthen personal and team commitment. I am also particularly focused on the development of young talent.

 

My unique workshops and seminars allow my clients to develop actionnable insights to improve engagement, performance and communication. These sessions may also feature collaborations with experts like Stéphane Moriou (author and speaker) and Ingmar Beck (orchestra conductor), for a truly distinctive experience.

 

As a vocal coach, I help my clients develop clarity, authority, and charisma. I also offer a customized “Executive Track” for leaders who wish to transform their impact in public speaking while showcasing their unique strengths.

 

Charity Mission Opéra France 

As Artistic Director of the charity Mission Opéra France, I coordinate, lead and oversee educational and artistic outreach projects designed to instill discipline, commitment, and teamwork with participants. Our initiatives also promote academic success and help prevent dropout whilst making opera more accessible to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

 

MOF works in partnership with the French Ministry of Education and targets vocational high schools. Since 2019, we have worked with over 500 young people across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region. MOF is fast becoming a national program, creating unique opportunities to help young people throughout France develop core work skills.

 

The project is also the subject of a study conducted by an independent research laboratory, aiming to assess the program’s impact on key personality traits such as self-confidence, perseverance, and cooperation. The study’s results will demonstrate the program’s impact and serve as an additional resource for sponsors and cultural organizations.

My artistic career

I began my operatic career with Scottish Opera in the role of Frasquita in Carmen. Since then, I have performed a wide range of roles, including Cleopatra (Julius Caesar), Susanna (The Marriage of Figaro), Pamina (The Magic Flute), Norina (Don Pasquale), Vixen (The Cunning Little Vixen), and First Niece (Peter Grimes) on prestigious stages such as the Royal Opera House, London, Opéra National de Lorraine, and Opéra National de Lyon. In concert, I have performed with orchestras such as the Hallé, Hanover Band, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Stockholm Sinfonietta, exploring repertoire from Bach to Szymanowski.

 

Passionate about chamber music and the repertoire of female composers, in 2014 I released my solo album “Love Said to Me…” with Stone Records and the pianist Joseph Middleton. The album received international critical acclaim for its exploration of music by women composers. In recital, I have performed at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room in London and at festivals such as Aldeburgh, Cheltenham and Oxford Lieder in the UK and Ravinia (Chicago) and Cité de la Culture in Tunis. In France, I have appeared at the Britten Festival, Les Jardins Mystérieux, the amphitheater and ballet studio, all at Opéra de Lyon, the Musée des tissus in Lyon, and at the Volcadiva Festival in Auvergne and Présences Compositrices at the Opéra de Toulon. I have performed on numerous live broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and France Musique.

 

Dedicated to innovative projects promoting lesser known repertoire including works by female composers, I have created numerous programs (Voyage en mer, Anticipation and Reflection, Adored and Betrayed Women….) as both Artistic Director and soloist. In 2017, I co-created the immersive experience Hommage aux femmes, blending music, storytelling and video mapping, which premiered at the Salle Molière in Lyon.

 

I studied modern languages at the University of Bristol before pursuing vocal studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and the Royal Academy of Music in London. In 2008, I won the Emmy Destinn Award in Prague and was selected by the prestigious Young Classical Artists Trust in London the following year.
