Biography

Grace Lovelass is a highly versatile performer, creator and coach working at the intersection of voice, movement and storytelling.

An operatic mezzo-soprano, endurance athlete and artist, she brings discipline, precision and expressive depth to every aspect of her work–from the classical stage to the comedy circuit, from competitive sport to embodied coaching.

Grace studied Classics at King’s College London and was a PR and communications manager before taking her first opera lesson at the age of 31. Early recognition came through multiple awards at the Bournemouth Music Competitions Festival across opera, lieder and oratorio, before she completed her vocal training at the Associated Studios.

As a soloist, she 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. Known for her rich tone and strong dramatic instinct, she specialises in bringing emotional clarity and immediacy to highly varied repertoire.

Alongside her operatic career, Grace writes, produces and performs original comedy music shows. Her one-woman show Ballgowns & Bib Shorts–a musical memoir of life as an opera singer and Ironman triathlete–premiered to enthusiastic audiences and tours in Summer 2026, with development and performance support from Dorchester Arts and Lighthouse, Poole. An experienced fringe theatre performer, Grace has fronted shows at festivals including Brighton, Camden and Edinburgh. 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 completed races in France, Spain and Switzerland–bringing an athlete’s discipline, resilience and mental strength to all areas of her work. This mindset underpins her coaching practice through her brand Train Antiope, where she offers voice coaching, yoga teaching, and her signature “Warrior Training” method: a unique fusion of breathwork, movement and vocal expression designed to build confidence, presence and inner strength.

In addition to her performance and coaching work, Grace is a visual artist, creating drawings and paintings that explore movement, femininity and archetypal strength.

Whether on stage, on the racecourse or in the studio, Grace combines technical excellence with warmth, humour and authenticity. She is recognised for her versatility and drive, as well as her ability to create experiences that are both highly engaging and genuinely transformative–leaving audiences energised, uplifted and inspired to pursue their own goals with courage.
