Grace studied Classics at King’s College London and worked in PR and communications before taking her first opera lesson at the age of 31. She received multiple awards at the Bournemouth Music Competitions Festival before completing her vocal training at the Associated Studios. Known for her rich tone and strong dramatic instinct, she specialises in bringing character and emotion to highly varied repertoire.
Grace has performed leading roles including both Dido and the Sorceress in Dido & Aeneas, Romeo in I Capuleti e i Montecchi, and Witch/Mother in Hansel & Gretel. Her operatic work has included performances with Opera de Baugé – where she was awarded the Gil-Rodriguez Scholarship – and Dorset Opera Festival, alongside concert appearances as a soloist with the Oxford University Sinfonietta and City of Bristol Choir.
Alongside her operatic career, Grace has created original, comedy music shows. With development and performance support from Dorchester Arts and Lighthouse, Poole, her one-woman show Ballgowns & Bib Shorts – the musical memoir of an opera-singing triathlete – has toured the UK to include Edinburgh Fringe 2026. Blending classical repertoire, parody and candid storytelling, her work is recognised for its originality, humour and honesty.
Grace is also a sought-after public speaker. Her talk Glitz, Glamour & Blowing Raspberries: Confessions of an Off-Duty Opera Singer combines live performance with candid reflections on the realities of pursuing a creative life, delivered with warmth, wit and motivational impact.
A three-time IRONMAN finisher, Grace has raced in France, Spain and Switzerland, cycled 500km through Kenya’s national parks and, more recently, taken on trail marathons and ultra events. The mindset and fitness required for endurance sport underpins her brand Train Antiope. She runs yoga classes and her signature Warrior Training sessions to help women find strength in mind, body and voice.
Grace is also a visual artist – she creates mostly figurative drawings and paintings that explore movement, femininity and archetypal strength.
Whether on stage, at the start line or in the studio, Grace combines experience, commitment and technical excellence with warmth, humour and authenticity. She is recognised for her versatility and drive, as well as her ability to energise, uplift and inspire those around her to pursue their own goals with freedom and courage.
