OPERA DIVAS

At the age of eight, Bronwen declared her wish to be an opera singer. After a varied career, combining corporate marketing with busking, choral singing, opera performance and singing studies, she is now pursuing her dream full-time. After achieving a Diploma in Opera & Performance from Associated Studios in London and working in the UK and Europe, Bronwen founded Rogue Opera in 2018 with a vision of bringing opera to new audiences and unconventional spaces. As well as singing the title role in Rogue Opera’s inaugural season of Bizet’s Carmen, Bronwen directed the production and saw it performed in a variety of venues.

Working with a dedicated troupe of musicians and seeing her concepts come to life on the stage have been a high point in her musical career, which continued with the company’s second season, presenting a vibrant, contemporary reimagining of Mozart’s Don Giovanni in 2019, which Bronwen directed. In the second revival tour she also performed the role of Donna Elvira. The challenges presented by Covid-19 in 2020 have taken Bronwen and Rogue Opera into new ventures, broadcasting over 45 livestream performances and building an archive over 100 video performances of arias and ensembles, providing creative work for Rogue Opera artists and introducing new audiences to opera.

Delighted to be back to in-person events in 2021, Bronwen created, wrote the English libretto and directed a new production 'A Modern Opera Love Story' for Fuller’s Opera in the Garden. The association with Fuller's has continued with two further very successful summer tours, presenting an exciting and engaging gala program in a wide variety of pub gardens.

For the 2024 summer tour of Carmen Re-imagined, Bronwen wrote the English dialogue, directed  and sang the title role of Carmen.

2025 saw the debut of Bronwen’s second Re-imagined work, in which she has set Mozart’s Così fan tutte in modern New York, where a desire for celebrity, status and money provides the background for the opera’s convoluted story of love, deceit and betrayal. In this production, Bronwen sang the role of Dorabella.

2026 is shaping up to be another busy year for Rogue Opera, with a number of gala performances, a revival of Carmen Re-imagined and the founding of the outreach arm of the company, Rogue Opera Outreach.
