Felicity, age 24, soprano, past Tauranga Girls' College pupil, graduated from the University of Waikato as a Sir Edmund Hillary Scholar with conjoint Bachelor of Music (voice) and Bachelor of Science (biochemistry) degrees.

Further study saw Felicity complete an Honours Degree and more recently her Masters of Music Degree, both with First Class Honours. She joined the Freemasons New Zealand Opera Chorus (Auckland) in 2019, and was a Dame Malvina Major Foundation Studio Artist with New Zealand Opera for 2020. 

Felicity holds ATCL Diplomas with Distinction in Classical Singing Performance (2017), Public Speaking (2016), and Speech and Drama (2014). Felicity won the University of Waikato Aria Competition and in 2018 she was awarded the Sir Edmund Hillary Arts Medal.

In 2020, Felicity was awarded a Tayla Made Foundation study grant, and at the 2021 NZ Opera School, was awarded the Dame Sister Mary Leo Scholarship and the Susie and Guy Haddleton Emerging Artist Award.

Tauranga teachers Judy Tallon and Glenese Blake played a huge part in setting Felicity on the road to singing success.

Felicity is now off on a full scholarship to study an Artists Diploma of Opera at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. This is a two-year course where course fees are paid for but living expenses are not. Felicity will be competing in major singing competitions to help with her living expenses. 

She recently took part in an “Emerging Artists” concert at Baycourt, which was hugely successful.
