Notable solo engagements include the Villa-Lobos ‘Bachianas Brasileiras No.5’ at Cadogan Hall, Vivaldi’s ‘Gloria’ at St John’s Smith Square, ‘The Ultimate Opera Gala’ with Dame Kiri te Kanawa, Dennis O’Neill and the orchestra of Welsh National Opera, and a CD of Handel cantatas with Dame Ann Murray and The Amade Players. Recent opera roles include Konstanze (Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail, Mozart) with Pop-Up Opera, Lili (Carina, AnsdellEvans) in workshop with English National Opera, Shepherd Boy in 'Tosca' and Alona in ‘Different’ by Llywelyn Ap Myrddin for English Touring Opera, and Cover Dalinda (Ariodante, Handel) for the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence.
