Praised in Opera Magazine for her “exquisite singing and acting”, Lucy is a Britten-Pears Young Artist, and winner of the Making Music Award for Young Concert Artists and the International Opera Awards Foundation.

Lucy read Music at Cambridge University, and completed her operatic training at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and English National Opera.

Her concert highlights include soprano soloist in Handel’s Dixit Dominus (OAE), Nielsen’s Third Symphony (Philharmonia Orchestra), Bach’s Christmas Oratorio in Sydney Opera House (Australian Chamber Orchestra), the Oxford Lieder Festival/Graham Johnson, Sibelius Kuolema (English Chamber Orchestra), and her solo début at Carnegie Hall New York with composer Karl Jenkins.
