KIM SHEEHAN

Kim Sheehan has firmly established herself as a quintessential coloratura soprano, performing throughout Europe and the UK with companies such as the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Zürich Opera House, Wexford Festival Opera, Opera North, Garsington Opera, Grange Park Opera and Irish National Opera to name but a few. 

Her personal highlights include; singing Diana in the world premiere of Jonathan Dove’s Diana and Acteon at the ROH; her portrayal of the title role in The Nightingale and the Rose with The Everyman, her hallmark role of Queen of the Night with INO’s The Magic Flute and a nationwide tour of Poulenc’s one-woman opera The Human Voice and winning Best Female Performance in Opera for her Debut role in The Morrigan at Cork Opera House in 2022 

Kim graduated with the Gold Medal from DIT Conservatory of Music, Dublin before taking up a four-year scholarship at the Benjamin Britten International Opera School at the Royal College of Music, London and from there Kim continued onto the prestigious International Opera Studio at Zürich Opera House. 

She’s received a host of excellent reviews from around Europe including her “outstanding” (Der Landbote) interpretation of Zerbinetta, an “utterly brilliant” (Arts Desk) and “truly star-blazing” (Osterländer Volkszeitung) Königin, with a voice that “sets the pulse racing” (Financial Times) and which shone “like the many fires of a diamond” (Forum Opera)  and “sporting a super voice”  for Adele (Opera Now).

As well as being a passionate operatic  vocalist, Kim also sees the voice as a healing tool and was awarded the inaugural Jane Anne Rothwell Award for her creation of  All that is Sound as well as an Opera Bears Award for her online voice-vibration class, Good Vibrations.
