Age when you started singing
Always!
Favourite opera
That is not possible to name, it would be like choosing a favourite family member! But...I'm a sucker for Mozart and bel canto.
Favourite opera or musical role to perform
I have a one year old, so...'If you're happy and you know it - clap your hands!'
A fun fact not many people know about you
I also decorate cakes for a living. If you ever need a friend to make you fat - I'm your girl!
What do you like to sing in the shower?
Trashy pop. It's so good.

Quotes
"Kathryn Radcliffe sang the role with lushness and purity from a secret location. My guess is that Radcliffe sang from the pit - her voice sailing high and glorious from below."
