Felicity could sing before she could talk and took her first singing lesson when she was 3 after hearing someone sing “Voi che sapete.”
Felicity is a lyric soprano and is currently studying for a Masters in vocal studies at The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under the tutelage of Louise Crane and Paul Wingfield. She is generously supported by a scholarship and has enjoyed being a finalist in the Stuart Cameron French Prize and the RBC Singer’s Prize. At college she performed the roles of First Lady in Die Zauberflöte and Aunt Norris in Mansfield Park, both directed by Michael Barry. Other operatic roles include: Olympia in The Tales of Hoffman (Harrow Opera), Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance (Meridian Opera), Mary Magdalene in The Passion and Ressurection (The London Voices Festival) and Vagaus in Juditha Triumphans (En Travesti).
She has performed several roles in opera scenes including: Mrs Grose in The Turn of the Screw (Royal Birmingham Conservatoire), Female Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia (Trinity Laban Conservatoire), Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare (Harrow Opera) and Clorinda in La Cenerentola (AIMS International School).
Felicity has performed as the soprano soloist in many Oratorios including: Carmina Burana, The Messiah, Elijah, Mozart’s Requiem, Samson, The Creation, Haydn’s Nelson Mass, Carl Rutti’s Missa Angelorum, Judith Weir’s All the Ends of the Earth and Daniel Lesur’s Le Cantique de Cantiques at the BBC Proms in 2010.
She did her undergraduate degree at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, studying with Alison Wells and Rianka Bouwmeester and was awarded the Contemporary Vocal Prize for her very last minute performance of Sivan Sheniv’s piece “The Pleiades” at the Festival of Time and Space at The National Maritime Museum. Felicity has a special interest in contemporary music and relishes the challenge as she has perfect pitch. She regularly sings in foreign languages and enjoys exploring new languages. Felicity recently sang in Chinese for the first time and was praised for her fluent pronunciation.
Felicity regularly sings as a deputy in London’s top church choirs and has also deputised for The BBC Singers and The Armonico Consort.
In her spare time, Felicity enjoys reading and walking in the Chilterns.
