Kelly Mathieson: Dreaming of Daaé

Send us a text


In our 11th Episode, Adam Robert Lewis sits down (virtually) with
West End Star, Kelly Mathieson. 

Originally from Ayr in Scotland, Kelly started singing at a young
age. Through singing she discovered her love of Opera and then
went on to study at the prestigious Royal College of Music in
London. 

Kelly reflects on her whirlwind journey and why she left the
world of opera to make her West End debut playing Chrisitine Daaé
in Phantom of the Opera, a role she always dreamed of playing but
never though she would. From her early days of singing
Christine’s words in her living room and dreaming of one day
playing her. Kelly’s dream came true in 2017 landing the role in
the shows 32nd year, a role she was still playing up until the
closure of the West End due to Covid-19.

If Kelly's journey teaches us anything it's to work at your craft
and go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
