Lucy has performed as a soloist in many of London's most prestigious venues including the Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall and St John's Smith Square. She is ideally suited to zwischenfach operatic roles, and enjoys performing Mozart opera in particular. She is a committed interpreter of contemporary music and is a core member of EXAUDI vocal ensemble, with whom she regularly premieres works by exciting new composers.
Staged work includes Hänsel in Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel, Zerlina Don Giovanni, Annio La Clemenza di Tito, Dorabella Così fan tutte, Meg Page Falstaff, Triptych with ERRATICA at the Print Room, Notting Hill, David Lang's The Little Match Girl Passion with Cryptic Theatre at King's Place, and chorus in Purcell's Fairy Queen and King Arthur with the Academy of Ancient Music at the Barbican. A major project over the past year has been the American Songbook project with pianist Siwan Rhys, including a 9-day American Songbook residency at Snape Maltings with composer Laura Bowler, followed by performances in Brunel Tunnel Shaft, City and Durham Universities, International Anthony Burgess Foundation and in Brighton (supported by Arts Council England, PRS for Music Foundation, Snape Maltings, Hinrichsen Foundation and RVW Trust). Other highlights from the past year include Monteverdi Vespers (solos&chorus) with the Academy of Ancient Music, second soprano solos in various performances of Mozart Mass in C Minor, solos in Beethoven Choral Fantasy with Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, and an old and new madrigal programme with EXAUDI at the Wigmore Hall, Italy and Luxembourg, and a Snape Maltings opera residency with composer Tom Coult and the Britten Sinfonia. Forthcoming engagements include song recitals at Clapham Omnibus and Hungerford Arts Festival, and an extensive European tour of Verdi Requiem with the Monteverdi Choir. Lucy is also looking forward to performing extracts from Michael Finnissy's Remembrance Day and reworking of Mozart Requiem, accompanied by the composer, at his Southampton University retirement concert at the Turner Sims Concert Hall, and to a UK tour of Duspain's Passion with Music Theatre Wales/EXAUDI. Lucy makes her conducting debut in 2018, conducting a string ensemble programme of works by Warlock, Finzi, Peter Copley and Bach in April, and Blaze chamber ensemble in a performance of Wagner's Siegfried Idyll in June, both in London.
Lucy graduated with distinction for her Masters in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music in July 2011, where she was awarded the S and M Eyres Wilson Scholarship and supported by the Josephine Baker Trust. She previously read Modern Languages at Girton College, Cambridge, where she was a choral and instrumental scholar. She also played the violin in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and its Italian equivalent, L’Orchestra Giovanile Italiana, and spent a year studying at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, Italy. Lucy is extremely grateful to the Kathleen and the Seary Trusts for their generous support towards her career development.
Besides singing Lucy loves playing the fiddle in a string quartet and spending time in Italy, where she can natter away in Italian. She also loves the great outdoors and enjoyed replicating faithfully Jerome K. Jerome's Three [Wo]Men in a Boat, rowing 85 miles up the Thames in a wooden camping skiff!
