Corinne Cowling

Perth-born soprano, Corinne Cowling, has performed internationally across both opera and musical theatre, from Christine Daaé (Cover) in the original West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London (2019-2020), to soprano soloist for Raymond Gubbay’s Johann Strauss Gala National UK Tour and Istanbul (2017-2019). Opera/Orchestral credits include Morgana (cover) in Handel’s Alcina (Opera North), Niña in Ainadamar (Scottish Opera), soloist with the English Chamber Orchestra’s 2024 NYE Gala Istanbul, Arthebuze in Charpentier’s Actéon (Lost&Found Opera), Peep-bo in The Mikado (Charles Court Opera), Barbarina/Cover Susanna in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro (Clonter Opera) and ensemble in West Green House Opera’s Die Fledermaus, Candide and Madama Butterfly. Musical theatre credits include Anne Egerman in Sondheim’s A Little Night Music (Opera North/Leeds Playhouse), Cosette in Les Misérables with Pimlico Opera and Virginia Gumm in Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz with Paul Verides Productions.

Corinne holds an MMus and MPerf (Distinction) from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, and a BMus, GradDip (Opera Studies) from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). She also has a PGCert in Vocal Pedagogy and enjoys teaching vocal technique across musical theatre and opera, sharing her passion for artistry and technical excellence with emerging singers. Corinne brings a distinctive approach to singing teaching, shaped by a deep understanding of the mind and body connection developed through her background in classical ballet and contemporary dance. Her multidisciplinary approach draws inspiration from a range of methods, including somatic release techniques from contemporary dance, mindfulness, the Accent Method, and Pilates (she is also a qualified mat Pilates teacher). Alongside this, Corinne’s experience as a movement director (West Green House Opera and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama) has equipped her to work with singers from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. She adapts her approach to meet each student’s individual needs, creating a supportive and responsive learning environment.
