Carmen Role for Soprano Claire
Graduate Claire Watkins has just completed a tour of
Scottish Opera’s latest production of Carmen.
Claire performed the role of Micaela in the production of
Bizet’s boldy seductive opera, this time set in Franco’s 1960s
Spain.
Claire graduated from the College's PgDip in 2004, then went on
to study opera at the Royal Academy of Music. Equally at home on
the concert platform and the operatic stage, Claire has performed
with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at St David’s Hall and has
appeared at the Wigmore Hall, St Martin-in-the-Fields and the Royal
Albert Hall.
And another RWCMD graduate was also involved in the production.
Elin Pritchard, who graduated in 2009, covered for Claire in the
same role.
