ABOUT

Welcome to the website of British soprano Caroline MacPhie

Described as a singer with ‘flair, style and imagination’ (The Telegraph), Lyon based Caroline MacPhie is a versatile artist, performing as a soloist in repertoire from Monteverdi to Max Richter with companies such as Royal Opera House, Opera North, Scottish Opera, Opéra  National de Lyon and Opéra National de Lorraine. In concert she has performed with leading ensembles including Hallé, Hanover Band, Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Philharmonia. A committed recitalist, she made her Wigmore Hall debut in 2010 and has since gone on to perform at major UK festivals as well as further afield. A specialist in repertoire by female composers, her latest album with pianist Joseph Middleton ‘Love said to me….’ is a collection of songs inspired or written by women.

Alongside her performance career, Caroline is a keynote speaker and workshop leader. She works with groups from 10 to several hundred people using opera as a motivational tool. Her latest lecture on the importance of work ethic – “It’s not over until the diligent lady sings” – provides a unique approach to inspiring and nurturing a strong sense of purpose at work. Since 2019, Caroline is also Artistic Director of Mission Opéra, a unique outreach project through which she has worked with over 350 young people from vocational high schools in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.  In 2023 she founded the charity Mission Opéra France in order to enable the project to become a national initiative.
