Welcome to the home page of Helen Bailey, lyric soprano
Helen Bailey was more than equal to all the lyrical passion Puccini loads on to the role, with luxurious tone and an impressive fullness in her high pianissimo line, setting off many a damp eye as Magda broke with her young lover Ruggero.
Peter Reed, Opera Magazine February 2024 (Puccini's 'La Rondine', Midsummer Opera)
Helen Bailey’s clear soprano flowed effortlessly over the orchestra and choir.
Michele Roszak (Verdi Requiem, Royal Tonbridge Wells Choral Society)
Soprano Helen Bailey brought the house down with a breathtaking rendition of the showpiece aria 'Let the bright seraphim', ably assisted by the brilliant trumpet playing of Andrew Baxter.
Robert Milnes (Samson, Hailsham Choral Society)
One of the most talented sopranos of her age... A rare balance between self-knowledge, aspiration, musicality, and technique.
