The Phantom of the Opera

Wendy was born in County Derry, Northern Ireland, and has lived in London for the past ten years. She began singing lessons at the age of five, competing in feises and festivals throughout Ireland. In 1996 she was awarded a vocal scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she studied for five years, graduating with a masters degree in music performance, BMus (Hons), and, upon completion of her studies, LGSMD. While at GSMD she was awarded the Masonic Prize for Singing and the Ian Gow Memorial Bursary for Northern Irish Musicians.

Her concert performances, including Bach Magnificat, Beethoven Missa Solemnis, Bach B Minor Mass, Brahms German Requiem, Mozart Requiem, Handel Messiah, Haydn The Creation, Mendelssohn Elijah, Berlioz Requiem and Pergolesi Stabat Mater, have led to appearances in the Barbican Hall, St Martin-in-the-Fields, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall and numerous concert venues throughout her native Ireland. She has travelled through much of North Africa and Europe performing on cruise ships for Swan Hellenic.

Wendy joined the ensemble of The Phantom of the Opera in 2002, understudying and performing the roles of Carlotta and Wardrobe Mistress/Confidante many times during her three years in the company. She is now thrilled to be playing the role of Carlotta.
