Welcome to my page. This is my own artist page in which I am able to publish news and insights to what I am woking on.

I am an opera director, cultural leader, and public speaker, who is represented by Day Macaskill of Cruickshank Cazenove in London.

In 2015 I became the first opera director to receive an International Opera Awards bursary, and in 2018 was both an arts-and-culture finalist in the Women of The Year awards and a semi-finalist in the European Opera-Directing Prize.

I have worked throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, and America, and my directing credits include L’inganno felice (Wexford Festival Opera); The Turn of the Screw and Mad King Suibhne (Bury Court Opera); International Opera Awards Ceremony (ENO London Coliseum and Sadler’s Wells Theatre / International Opera Awards); Operatic Mass Actions (European City of Culture, AUT DK); SWAP’ra Gala (Opera Holland Park); Tryl / Magic Flute (Copenhagen Opera Festival); Sideshows(Sadler’s Wells Studio); Il Letto and Hathaway (Buxton International Festival, Copenhagen Opera Festival, Grimeborn); L’occasione fa il ladro (CCF Glasgow, Teatro Signorelli, Teatro di Cortona); Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Teatro Tuoro sul Trasimeno); King Roger (a film for Random Acts / Channel 4); Salon Russe (National Portrait Gallery); Il Tabarro (LSO St Luke’s); Macbeth and Un ballo in maschera (Opera Integra); María De Buenos Aires (The Vaults London / A Curious Invitation); Louise and Otello(Buxton International Festival); An Evening with Lucian Freud (Leicester Square Theatre); Stand and Deliver (King’s Head Theatre); Rock Tosca (Tête à Tête Festival); Façade and Eight Songs For a Mad King (Rose Theatre Kingston, Arcola Theatre, St Petersburg Philharmonia); Triptych (Mariinsky II); and The Bear, Bare, and Red as Blood(Rose Theatre Kingston, Sage Gateshead, Greyfriars Kirk, St Cyprian’s).
