"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"
Philip R Buttall
