2022 COMPETITION WINNER AT OPERA FESTIVAL SCOTLAND
Coloratura soprano Joanne Whalley trained at Morley college and since then has gone on to become a competition winner at Opera Festival Scotland where she sang Berg's "Lied Der Lulu" and Donizetti's "Quel guardo il Cavaliere".
“Soprano soloist Joanne Whalley was clear, clean-toned and soaringly powerful in all her solos. In the first movement, Song and Bacchanal, she absolutely excelled.”
Review by Alan Cooper of the premiere of a new arrangement of Holst’s Choral Symphony by Ralph Jamieson, with Stonehaven Chorus, May 2024.
Joanne recently performed the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor, for which her performance of the mad scene was described as “truly chilling” and “expertly performed”.
