Local soprano Helen Bailey returns with CODA Treasurer Marcus Andrews on piano.
British lyric soprano, Helen Bailey, trained at Trinity College of Music, Royal Academy of Music, and Royal Academy Opera.
Recent operatic performances include the title role of Jenůfa (Midsummer Opera), Erste adelige Waise/cover Sophie (Der Rosenkavelier, Saffron Opera Group), Micaëla (Carmen, Opera South East), and Magda (La Rondine, Midsummer Opera).
Helen also enjoys a busy concert schedule, with recent engagements including Verdi’s Requiem with Eastbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Helen Bailey was more than equal to all the lyrical passion Puccini loads on to the role, with luxurious tone and an impressive fullness in her high pianissimo line, setting off many a damp eye as Magda broke with her young lover Ruggero.
Peter Reed, Opera Magazine February 2024 (Puccini's 'La Rondine', Midsummer Opera)
Soprano Helen Bailey brought the house down with a breathtaking rendition of the showpiece aria 'Let the bright seraphim', ably assisted by the brilliant trumpet playing of Andrew Baxter.
Robert Milnes (Samson, Hailsham Choral Society)
One of the most talented sopranos of her age... A rare balance between self-knowledge, aspiration, musicality, and technique.
Stephen Barlow, Artistic Director of Buxton Festival
