Mezzo-soprano Joanna Harries is a versatile and dynamic performer with a repertoire stretching from baroque to contemporary music. She was a choral scholar at Cambridge University and went on to train at the Royal Northern College of Music and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Alexander Gibson Opera Studio).
In opera she has performed with Welsh National Opera, Scottish Opera, Grange Park Opera, Opera Holland Park and British Youth Opera, and her roles stretch from the seventeenth to twenty-first centuries. Upcoming roles include Emerging Artist as Innkeeper’s Wife/The Cunning Little Vixen (Longborough Festival Opera), Lucinda/La forza dell’amor paterno (The Barber Opera) and creating the role of Diana in The Weekend - a new opera version of Michael Palin’s play by composer Scott Stroman. She is also an Emerging Artist for the Royal Opera House’s “Opera Dots” programme for children.
“Joanna Harries’s Savitri is the only flesh-and-blood character...Harries sang with conviction and emotional force.” Neil Fisher – The Times
“Harries’s robust mezzo-soprano adroitly navigated the shifting moods and keys of the piece, letting rip in her final exchange with Death." Timmy Fisher – Bachtrack
Ashley Beauchamp is a pianist and conductor originally from Sussex, now based in London. In 2017, he graduated with first class honours from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance where he studied with Eugene Asti. In September 2017, he started on the répétiteur course at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. Specialising in work with singers, Ashley is regularly found giving recitals across the UK.
Opera Live At Home was recently founded by Helen to provide a much needed performance platform for both UK-based opera singers and accomapnists as well as bringing live music to you. What makes us unique is the opportunity to meet the artists afterwards, something you would never normally experience in the opera house or concert hall.
