"A first class
performance... should be congratulated on her performance of One Fine
Day"
John
Manning on Nadine's performance as Madame Butterfly with St Albans
Chamber Opera
Award-winning soprano Nadine
Mortimer-Smith is a versatile and charismatic performer and recording
artist with a growing
international reputation on the operatic stage. In addition to her work
in traditional opera, she is fast becoming a
specialist in contemporary music, having created roles in several
operas
by living composers and focusing on song cycles by 20th century and
contemporary American composers.
Nadine is also a champion of
mixed-media collaborations, and recently worked with artist Yinka
Shonibare MBE on his film installation "Addio del Passato".
In March 2012, Nadine was
shortlisted for the inaugural Genesis Prize, awarded to outstanding
mentors who give others confidence and inspiration to achieve artistic
excellence in their chosen profession. Among the six shortlisted was
Tom Morris, the director of War Horse at the National Theatre and on
Broadway. As a result of her participation, the Genesis Foundation wish
to work with her to develop one of the projects she put to the panel
during her presentation. She is extremely proud of this achievement and
is excited that she is continuing to make a difference in the world by
creating opportunities to inspire others.
Nadine was awarded the prize for Most Promising Voice at the inaugural
Voice of Black Opera competition. The jury consisted of Anthony Negus,
Julian Joseph, Philip Herbert and the legendary Grace Bumbry. Please click here to see photos of
the event.
"Soprano
Nadine Mortimer-Smith proved an admirable choice of soloist in Richard
Strauss’s challenging Four Last Songs, soaring effortlessly and
powerfully over the lush orchestral background... a young voice with
real potential"
