On graduating from the University of London with a BA (Hons) in Classics and later an MA in the History of Art from SOAS, Lucy’s early career was in public relations.  In 2011 after living in Thailand and Vienna and keen to share her love of opera she founded Divas & Scholars in London, an opera events company offering a programme of recitals, lectures and master classes.  She has collaborated with conservatoires, opera studios and opera festivals on a variety of projects, promoting both emerging talent and established singers, new productions and recordings.  A choral singer herself, Lucy has a deep interest in the art of the opera singer and a passion for beautiful voices.  She is developing a series of documentaries on the architecture and history of opera houses – Temples of Opera – which she is writing and presenting. Lucy joins Wiener Festspiele and the Vienna Opera Academy/Festival as PR and Events Director.
