ABOUT

"I believe that music is audible emotion. Live performance can capture a moment. There is nothing more exciting than being in the same room as a performer when they fully open up and let you connect in a direct way with their soul. This has become my mission; to share a piece of my heart with as many people as possible through song."
"Classical soprano Jennifer is one of the rising stars of the opera world, whose breath-taking vocal artistry comes with an endearing, easy-going style that has allowed her to grace grand opera, TV and sporting arenas with ease." - FC United of Manchester

BIOGRAPHY

BIOGRAPHY: Long
    Since 2018, British/Irish Soprano Jennifer Coleman has been working as a full-time Soprano 1 chorus member of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen (International Opera Awards: Best Opera Company 2019) in Antwerp and Ghent, Belgium. For OBV, she performed as a soloist in Verdi’s “Libera me” from Requiem in Choeurs 2022, Brahms’ Deutsches Requiem, Schreker’ Der Schmied von Gent, cover Giovanna in Verdi's Ernani, and a spoken solo in Halevy’s La Juive. In the summer of 2024, Jennifer made her debut at the Royal Opera House in Damiano Michieletto's brand new production of Bizet’s ever-popular opera Carmen. The performance was also broadcast live to cinemas across the world. In June/July 2024 she was invited to tour to Tokyo, Japan with the ROH to sing in their iconic production of Puccini's Turandot at the Bunka Kaikan Theatre. Future engagements include La Cugina in Puccini's Madama Butterfly with OBV in the 24/25 season.

Prior to this, she completed her undergraduate training at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. She was a Britten-Pears Young Artist 2017, winner of The Hatfield Festival Voice Competition 2017, and of a 2016 Musical Odessey Prize. In 2019 she was thrilled to headline for the York Proms as soprano soloist, and is looking forward to returning there in 2023.
         Operatic roles include: Theodora in Handel’s Theodora (RCM Oratorio society), Pamina in Mozart's The Magic Flute (St. John's Opera), Taumann/Dew Fairy Hänsel und Gretel (RCMIOS), Mabel The Pirates of Penzance, Frasquita Carmen, 2nd Niece Peter Grimes (Dartington International), Priestess in Gluck's Iphigenie en Tauride (Euphonia Opera), Noga in Tom Smail's Electric Blue (Tête-à-Tête), and Vixen in Janáček's The Cunning Little Vixen (RCM Scenes). Concert performances include soprano solos in Bach's St John Passion, Brahms' Deutsches Requiem, Handel's The Messiah and Dixit Dominus, Purcell’s Come ye sons of art, Fili in Handel's bilingual Acis and Galatea (Snape Maltings), and Elsie Suddaby in Vaughan-William's Serenade to Music. 
    Other highlights include reaching the semi-finals of "Belgium's got Talent" with her opera duo, six months touring the world as the resident opera singer aboard The Silver Muse 17/18, an 11 concert tour of the South of France with the Young Virtuosi Orchestra 2016, recitals in Spain as part of the Encuentro de Música y Academia de Santander 2017, singing on ITV's "The Only way is Essex", and recitals with clarinetist Peter Dec at prestigious London venues including The Royal Albert Hall, Kings Place, The Victoria & Albert Museum, and The Royal Academy of Art.
    Dream roles include: Musetta (La Boheme), Leila (Bizet: Pearl Fishers), Cleopatra (Handel: Giulio Cesare), Cunegonda (Bernstein: Candide), Eliza Doolittle (Lerner/Lowe: My Fair Lady) and most especially Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins).

When she’s not singing, Jennifer can generally be found training for her next marathon, drinking tea out of china teacups, or tucking into some delicious Belgian chocolates.
