After being spotted through the medium of musical theatre, as having good operatic potential, and obtaining accompanying sponsorships, Natasha decided to retrain her voice for the operatic stage. This took a career change, as she went to study singing in Madrid for 4 years, to concentrate on the operatic and classical repertoire.
On returning to England in 2003, she undertook ‘advanced diploma in Opera’, run by Mary Hill, Birkbeck University, London, graduating with distinction.
Operatic coaches include: Dinah Harris, Joy Mammen, Ludmiller Andrew, Pauline Tinsley, and Paul Farrington.
