McDonagh
As an artistically innovative performer, I am dedicated to performing Classical, Romantic and Modern Opera and art song at the highest level of artistry to audiences of all ages.
My work allows both seasoned attendees and newcomers to engage with passionately performed opera.
I value open communication with the audience, ensuring that every performance reflects my commitment to artistic authenticity and expression.

ABOUT
Hailing from Ireland, this young Soprano's operatic flair has been evident throughout her studies. Whilst completing my BMUS at QUB in Northern Ireland, my performance skills and expose to the stage was nurtured through student led projects and other adjacent productions based in Belfast. New student composed productions as well as collaborations with the Belfast Ensemble and chorus opportunities with NI Opera fuelled my passion and offered a plethora of performance focused variety.

Where I started...
Where I am today...
Today, I am currently based in Maastricht, I am continuing my studies as a young professional under the tutelage of Susanne Schimmack and am participating in various projects across the academic year from Conservatorium Maastricht's 'Night at the Opera' to the department's upcoming production of Rossini's Tancredi as well as class/lied concerts and other collaborative projects with my peers. My focus this year is to not only develop my technique further to the highest level of artistry and quality, but to expand my repertoire further with a particular focus on Mozart and Menotti.
